The Haiti Kids Kino Project
Extending the reach of its film program, the Bristol's Cube Cinema is traveling to Dominican Republic to set up temporary social cinemas for refugee children affected by the Haiti earthquakes.
See below for details of our forthcoming events programme and how to donate.
Organised by the Cube Cinema's children’s wing, Nanoplex, The Haiti Kids Kino Project will screen films for Haitian children, while providing workshops and equipment for them to make their own films. These will be shown to Haitian audiences, and then back here at The Cube. Similarly, children’s films made through the Cube’s Nanoplex, will go to the Dominican Republic border.
Sharing the experience of making and watching films, while offering temporary childcare facilities, this is a goodwill project to provide a small opening for escape, community, emotion and social occasion.
Children are experiencing untold damage and despair. Further anxiety can grow through inaction, loneliness and boredom. The Haiti Kids Kino Project is working in dialogue with established NGO’S, to contribute to quality of life through creating, sharing, forging friendships and connections.
Two Cube volunteers will be going out at the end of February, and we are raising funds for screens, cameras, films, vaccines, flights, etc.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, DONATE, OFFER HELP and ASSISTANCE.

MORE INFO
The Haiti Kids Kino Project is organized by The Cube Cinema's Nanoplex.
Nanoplex is an offshoot of The Cube that accommodates young minds, encourages active learning and creativity and hosts workshops, cabarets, film screenings and gigs.
The Cube is a volunteer-run organisation, based in inner-city Bristol, active in community life, producing and exhibiting art and culture. The Cube was set up to provide people who want to get involved with an outlet, a cultural and social exchange, and with something good to do. Recognised for innovation, open-source administration and resistance to difficult times, the Cube also has experience of setting up cultural exchanges and cinemas in challenging locations (Cornish tin mines, abandoned multi-story car parks, permaculture gardens, festivals over Europe, Nepal and even in Newcastle)
Working in dialogue with established NGO's, The HAITI KIDS KINO PROJECT will initially be based in the Dominican Republic/Haiti Border (where many Haitian refugee children are based) and only intends to move to Haiti if conditions allow.
The Cube Cinema is a non-funded, volunteer-run organisation - and help towards this, however small or large, makes a crucial difference to getting this project under way.
As a provider of grass roots cultural exchange this is the most direct humanitarian response that The Cube can offer
