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.

Daguerréotypes
(dir. Agnès Varda, 1975)
 
The business owners and shops of Paris’ rue Daguerre are the street’s lifeblood: bakers, tailors, butchers, perfumers, music-store clerks, and others, who, between the everyday rituals of their work, talk of their lives, relationships, and dreams. Agnès Varda described this film as "more or less a casual look at my neighbors." But sociological merit alone doesn't do justice to this thoughtful, playful, and inventive portrait of a neighborhood. A vital time capsule of Parisian street life in the 1970s and the vital importance of community.
