ZINEMA is the newest underground filmmaking movement to grace ABQ, NM screens. Highly personal films for highly personal people.Experimental, fun, pretentious, stupid, you’ll find everything and anything within these frames. Best of all, it’s made by goobers like you and me. Anyone can do it, and everyone should. To make a project is a testament of endurance, creativity, and pure force of will. Every filmmaker, artist, and curious human should attempt it at least once! Do you have what it takes to finish and release a ZINEMA of your own?????????

How to make your own Zinema
1. Approach your filmmaking as you would approach making a zine. Yep.
2. Make it with the resources you have on hand (don’t go renting an Arri Alexa for this thing).
3. Tell a story from your soul - it can be documentary, narrative, animation, or whatever combination works for you as a creative.
4. The purpose is for sharing your zinematic experience with others, not for profit. If you aren’t willing to do a free screening, perhaps you aren’t making it for the right reasons.
5. It’s important that you showcase your work! Rent out an arthouse theater, coffeeshop, do a backyard screening, or put it on YouTube. Whatever you can afford/organize.
6. Fuck off. Make this movie despite the fact that Hollywood, art dorks, and your mom will probably say it’s bad. Make it for you, and for your friends who love the work you make.
7. These are just guidelines. Do it however you want. I don’t care. Just send it over to us through our website and we’ll share it on our website/insta/other platforms.
