Cafe Kino is a not-for-profit, and completely unfunded, arts space.

We are committed to supporting DIY arts and grassroots activism, and aim to work with promoters, groups, organisations, and individuals who share the qualities, outlooks and values that are important to us.

The events side of Cafe Kino (as well as other areas of the co-op) rely heavily on the voluntary time and effort given by our staff, who work hard to bring you a programme that we are very proud of.

ACCESSIBILITY

We are proud to be an all-ages venue. There are no age restrictions on any events at Cafe Kino unless otherwise stated.

The main entrance to the cafe is step-free and on the ground floor. However, most events take place in the basement area. Unfortunately, due to building restrictions, this space is only accessible by stairs.

Cafe Kino is, once again, very proud to have teamed up with acclaimed film-maker, Juan Gabriel Gutiérrez, to bring you another short series of screenings from some of the leading experimental and artist film-makers in the world.



A gift from the Pacha Mama, the coca leaf has sparked more debate at this time of important geopolitical shifts in South America. Abel and Amaru set out to look at this plant from a new perspective, hoping to decry the established link between the sacred leaf and the illegal drug derived from it: cocaine.

They travelled along the nerves of the leaf, moving gradually from the traditional to the industrial world, from Bolivia to Peru, from yesterday to today on a journey that reveals the vital importance of the coca leaf to people across these two countries.

Abel Kavanagh was born in Dublin in 1979. Lives in Lille ­ France but has an itchy feet and despite of living in France, he is a good turf cutter. Has a Master in sciences of information & communication (exchange between France and Peru) and a Master in documentary filmmaking (France). Abel attended Werner Herzog's 'Rogue Film School' in London 2011.

Amaru Durand Mitre forgot his birthday but is considered a serious earthonaut and fresh filmmaker overall in the space of very independent documentaries. Most of sometime he lives in the center of Germany and develops approaches to mind-­-bending film themes.

**This screening will also be followed by a Q&A via Skype with filmmaker Abel Kavanagh.**
