Minikino

Minikino was initiated in 2002, and since then, have been working as a non-profit short film organization. Minikino work independently without grants from national nor local governments. The member of a committee consists of volunteering professionals, artists and film enthusiasts who works overtime to support the organization. The organization running cost is solely covered by private funding, sponsors, also occasional government’s funding as per-project basis. A lot of in-kind support also involved, supporting various organizational activities. Minikino believes that a short film, like a poem or short story, is a self-contained work with its own literary merit. A well-programmed selection of short films is a potent stimulant for discussion, which in turn will promote critical thinking. Seizing this idea, in 2002 Minikino began coupling its unique programs of short films from around the world with moderated discussions. Minikino since then declared its commitment to a “healthy dose of short films”. Minikino also works with other film festivals and short film programmers world wide by designing special programs of international or Indonesian short films, providing their audience with an opportunity to see and discuss about films they might never get to see otherwise. Minikino has also published and distributed several short film selections in electronic form, and organised film-related workshops. Minikino currently runs 3 different short film festivals; Monthly Screening & Discussion (Year Round since 2002) Open December (Annually since 2003) Minikino Film Week, Bali International Short Film Festival (Annually since 2015) Also 2 (two) annual short film networking projects Indonesia Raja (National short programs exchange, annually since 2015) S-Express (Regional Southeast Asia short programs exchange, annually since 2003)
