[Haiti-London-Konbit] The Haiti Kids Cinema Project

[Solidarity with the People of Haiti]

Please find latest info on The Haiti Kids Cinema Project:


Extending the reach of its film program, the Cube is travelling to Dominican
Republic to set up temporary social cinemas for refugee children affected by the
Haiti earthquakes.

Organised through the Cube’s children’s wing, Nanoplex, The HAITI KIDS KINO
PROJECT will screen films, while providing workshops and equipment for or
Haitian children to make their own films.

These will be screened and then exchanged with films made by children here in
Bristol, through Nanoplex.

PLEASE DONATE, OFFER HELP and SPREAD THE WORD.

Sharing the experience of making and watching films, while offering temporary
childcare facilities, this is a micro-humanitarian goodwill project to provide a
small opening for escape, community, emotion and social occasion.

Children are experiencing untold damage and despair. Further anxiety grows
through inaction, loneliness and boredom. The HAITI KIDS KINO PROJECT is working
in dialogue with established NGOs, to contribute to quality of life through
creating, sharing, forging friendships and connections.

Two Cube volunteers will be going out to the Dominican Republic to work with
Haitian Refugees at the end of February 2010, and we are raising funds for
screens, cameras, films, vaccines, flights, etc.

This is a big mission for a microplex, and we would love to have your support.
Do spread the word and dip into your magic pockets of love.

'Cinema Kib ape organiz ene banne cinema socyal temporer a kot pu vinne en l
