kinoMANUAL is a small, independent audio-visual production house focused on experimenting with the moving image and sound. We mainly explore analogue animation techniques such as hand-drawn, cut-out or direct cinema. We enjoy manual contact with film and production process itself. kinoMANUAL creates films and objects that correspond with a rich tradition of moving images, kinetic art and experimental cinema.

For two evenings the walls of the Nadodrze district will be entrusted to artist from all over the world. They will become canvases for moving pictures. However, these will not be typical graffiti murals, but ephemeral projections in various forms ‒ from video-art through sound performance and experimental cinema, to audio-visual installations.
