KINOCaviar

a window to world cinema

 

 

Credo

 

“kino”          It began with the kinesthetic sensation of viewing moving pictures. “Kino” then became the place to find films, the hall that houses the screen and its audience.  Today in cultures far from Hollywood, “kino” is the word used for cinema.

 

“caviar”     Delicacies of substance and form, the eggs of life.

 

Cinema can stimulate the senses, stir the mind, and feed the soul.  With a hand-picked harvest of cinema at its best, KINOCaviar completes the menu with complementary faire that fuels the “seventh art.”

 

KINOCaviar offers in-the-moment thought for savoring the finest of world cinema.  Come to the table of today’s kino-feast and see how its makers thrive on the arts that surround them.  Explore the exchange of visions and voices that feeds the world’s kino-culture.

 

In fact there may be as many “kinos” as “caviars,” and each opens a window to the world, through which we all peer at each other.  KINOCaviar brings distant cultures face-to-face through the arts that we come to share.
