Kinoctambule is an international laboratory creating short films. Its principle relies on intercultural exchanges, sharing knowledge and experience while releasing films and musical scores. For ten days or so, 80 applicants (mainly film-makers, actors, technicians, musicians, …), foreigners and locals get together in Saint-Etienne so as to write and release short films and to create most of the film scores as well. Each applicant participates in the making of one or several film and musical works, sharing their professional experience or experimenting new areas of expertise. The heart of the project relies on transmission and growth of know-how. The objective is to have professional experience shared and film industry professions initiated.The Kinoctambule project encapsulates patrimonial and cultural itineraries in the host city, from workshops to exhibitions or public screenings. This international laboratory intensively creating short films is specific insofar as there is no competition between the films. First and foremost, the point is not to win a prize or be ahead of the others, but above all to create collectively and bindingly. All the films to be made will be presented in a public showing. Creating collectively and bindingly, here is the soul of the Kinoctambule event. Closely with directors, the films will be submitted to international film festivals, to publicize both, the work of the participants and the project.In 2014, for the first edition, Kinoctambule gathered 85 applicants coming from a dozen countries; Belgium, Brazil, Chile, England, France, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Quebec, Slovenia, Spain, The Netherlands. 29 films and 42 musical creations have been made.In 2015, for the second edition, Kinoctambule gathered 83 applicants coming from 17 countries; Angola, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, Congo, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Ecuador, France, Greece, Mexico, Peru, Quebec, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands. 40 films and 60 musical creations have been made.
