Depot’s KINO Collective gives young people aged 16-19 the opportunity to be part of a small team with the power and responsibility to programme film screenings at Depot.
I am currently recruiting new members (yay!) so if you are interested in becoming part of the KINO Collective group here’s what you need to do:
Read the person spec, 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.
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: education@lewesdepot.org

KINO Collective presents a day of films dedicated to oddballs and misfits. Join us for outrageous cult classics with camp appeal.

The Wizard of Oz
11:00 Saturday 5 April
Cert U
When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz.
They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow that needs a brain, a Tin Man missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who wants courage.
But I'm a Cheerleader
13:15 Saturday 5 April
Cert 15
This whimsically edgy comedy, directed by Jamie Babbit, follows teenager Megan, whose suburban existence filled with friends, cheerleading, and all-American fun is upended when her strait-laced parents suspect she may be a lesbian.
In a panic, they send her to True Directions, a “rehabilitation” camp run by the strict and prudish Mary, to mount an intervention led by counselor Mike.
Megan dutifully follows the program, until she develops feelings for another camper in this timeless, satirical romantic-comedy about self-acceptance and love.
Polyester
15:25 Saturday 5 April
Cert 15
A frustrated housewife, Francine Fishpaw, tries to maintain her sanity while taking care of her dysfunctional household.
Elmer, her husband and the owner of an adult theatre, is sleeping with his secretary, and her delinquent teen son, Dexter, and pregnant teen daughter, Lulu, aren’t helping matters any.
But when Francine meets dashing Todd Tomorrow, the owner of a theatre specialising in art films, her life appears rosier.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
17:25 Saturday 5 April
Cert 18
In the questionable town of Deer Meadow, Washington, FBI Agent Desmond inexplicably disappears while hunting for the man who murdered a teen girl.
The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life.
Meanwhile, in the more cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Laura Palmer hangs with lowlifes and seems destined for a grisly fate.
