Welcome to Depot’s KINO Collective! We are a group of young adults who share an enthusiasm and appreciation for cinema, and it is our hope that you will too!
We aim to expose more people our age to a diverse range of powerful and enjoyable films, and in doing so build a community of avid young cinema-goers who are eager to explore the varied and transporting world of the movies. Our hope is that we introduce new audiences to our favourite films that we spend time and care into marketing and selecting.
As a group, we all work together to bring you this experience. This means that our social media, our marketing materials, everything right down to this webpage you’re reading right now, are all written, produced and distributed by us.
Find us on instagram for news about upcoming screenings & film recommendations.

Coming up on the KINO Kalendar…
Thank you to everyone who came along on Saturday. KINO will be taking a short break to recruit new members (see further down the page) but will be back for a June screening.
KINO FEST 2026. Sat 25 April 2025.
A day of films and events run by Depot’s own young programmer group, KINO Collective. This year’s theme is ‘outsiders’, three very different films that each touch on what it is to be an outsider in different ways.
From the sympathetic portrayal of Joseph Merrick, in David’s Lynch’s The Elephant Man, to a family living life on the fringes of a capitalist society in Sean Baker’s The Florida Project. Loosely linked together with 1932’s original shocker, Freaks, Tod Browning’s tale of greed and revenge that flips typical cinema depictions of ‘normal and monstrous’ on its head.
Plus live music, intros to each film and even a (Florida Project) themed cocktail.
WANT TO BE PART OF KINO COLLECTIVE?
I am currently recruiting new members (yay!) so if you are interested in becoming part of the next KINO Collective group here’s what you need to do:
Read the application info, outlining what I’m looking for in new members, on this PDF, then submit your application using this Google form. You are more than welcome to email me any supporting material that won’t fit anywhere on the form. A typical member of KINO will be 16 -18 and studying at college level; not necessarily a film related subject.
The deadline for applications is Friday 15 May. I’ll be in touch with successful applicants by Friday 22 May and we will aim to have our first, informal, meet up on Wednesday 3 June.
I will do my best to let you know I have received and read your application but I may not be able to respond to every application – sorry. I will, of course, be in touch if your application is successful.
If you have any questions regarding anything related to KINO Collective or about your application please get in touch with me, Anthony Gates (education manager and KINO coordinator), via email: anthony.gates@lewesdepot.org
