About the Event

Kino Western Sydney returned to ACE for its ninth instalment of open-mic short films, this time screening all things scary, freaky and devilishly spooky. Spine-tingling storytelling, bone-chilling bites, and connection with the screen community – all under one roof!

Kino is a chance for filmmakers to screen their work in a welcoming setting — and for audiences to discover fresh stories, meet like-minded creatives, and be part of a lively cinephile community.
