Our Mission

Kinonik is a nonprofit microcinema dedicated to the communal experience of watching films projected on analog formats. We preserve and present 16mm and 35mm film as a living medium with the aim of fostering dialogue, education, and resistance against cultural homogenization. In an era of increasing social isolation and algorithmic control, Kinonik serves as a space for collective meaning-making where cinema is not a commodity but a shared encounter with history, aesthetics, and radical imagination.

Our programming emphasizes overlooked, suppressed, and subversive voices by placing them in proximity to famed classics. To this end we continuously seek to expand our film collection— embracing digital formats only as a means of access to exceptional works that are unavailable to us on film. We are fascinated by the craft of projection as an art form and strive for excellence in presentation regardless of medium.

Committed to accessibility and community-building, Kinonik maintains fair pricing, proactively encourages diversity among our audience, and collaborates with artists, scholars and organizations. We approach our screenings both as entertainment and acts of celebration. We offer an alternative to the isolating forces of the mainstream by cultivating a joyful space where people can gather, discuss, and engage with the art of film through the analog experience.
