KINO is a film society based atop Maker Heights, screening films within the community’s own Patchwork Studios venue. Each year, we share a broad range of exciting films, focussing on releases that represent provoking and impressive accomplishments (as well as cult fandom) from all over the world. We set out to support the culture of cinema within our community, seeing a value in the shared experience of watching and discussing films in-person.

La Strada
(dir. Federico Fellini, 1954)

Simple and servile, dreamy Gelsomina is purchased from her impoverished mother by brutish circus strongman Zampanò. As his assistant, she becomes an adept carnival performer, but has to loyally endure his cruelty and abuse as they travel the Italian countryside performing together. “Federico Fellini manages to accomplish with film what mostly abstract painters do – namely, to communicate emotion without ever saying or showing anything in a direct manner, without ever explaining anything, just by a sort of sheer magic.” - David Lynch
