About us
Filmonik Melbourne is an inclusive open-screen short film night in the CBD. Filmmakers can register in advance to secure a spot or show up unannounced with their new film on a USB key ready for an engaged and open audience. Film lovers looking for a fresh, exciting viewing experience will find it at Filmonik Melbourne. Films are creative and raw, filmmakers are social and accessible and booze is flowing. Our monthly events are a great opportunity to find new cast and crew and collaborate on short films. At our 2017 Filmonik Kabaret event more than 20 films have been produced and screened in 2 weekends. In 2021 it's 36 films completed and screened + 16 super shorts, and a feature film shot. You can re-capture and use that creative energy at each Filmonik regular event each month.
Filmonik is part of the worldwide Kino network of filmmaking. The name Filmonik is composed of "Film" and "Kino" but inverted.

Filmonik Meetup and screening #127
Eclipse Cinema, 32 Wellington Street, Collingwood, AUFilmonik Melbourne is an open filmmaking group with monthly open-screen screenings like an open-mic for films. Meet at Eclipse on Tuesday April 28th for our 127th screening and it's our proven mix of immediate, spontaneous, crafty, fun, inventive and weird short films. You should expect comedies, a bit of drama, animation maybe, there's generally one suspense/thriller, one music video, some fun trash, horror or documentary but sometimes we don't even know what will be playing. Films are generally under 5 minutes to keep things fresh and fun, followed by a quick QA with the director to hear about the process. Enjoy the networking, meet the artisans, recruit for your next short film, hang out.
DETAILS:
Admission $13+fees = $13.83.

Our open-screen get pretty popular these days so the best practice is submitting in advance at filmonik.com.au/submit-your-film or info@filmonik.com.au so we can reserve you a spot in the program. Films under 5-minutes get close-to-automatic entry, and anything over may get held up until there's a quiet month. A quick QA with the host follows each film. Organize your own premiere with us or run a cheeky pre-premiere of your festival film. Guidelines here: filmonik.com.au/how-to-screen.
