What is AABOBO?
Writers, Poets, Painters, Theatre practitioners, Dancers, even the mainstream cinema has communities where the artists exchange notes, engage in debate, support one another’s work, give critique, offer one another their shoulders, their experience, help and warm cups of tea on those only-too-familiar cold, confusing evenings. But it is the independent cinema space we noticed has no such sense of community.
It doesn’t help that ‘indie cinema’ is often so hard to describe or explain. What constitutes indie cinema? How do you identify an indie cinema artist? If this is so hard to do how is one ever supposed to come together as a community to have a shared experience of the medium?
We desire that age old bonfire in the middle of the village every once in a while around which we will all gather, share our films, our experiences, our opinions, have debate, show solidarity, and go back to our fights rejuvenated, only to come back to this bonfire when we light it again.
‘AABOBO’ has been formed to help take small steps in that direction. We are a bunch of indie cinema practitioners - filmmakers, writers, actors, cinematographers, sound designers, music composers, editors - who have direly missed being part of a community. We have spent years out in the cold navigating our individual paths on our own, alone, the road being lit simply by the flickering, pale light of our individual desperations.
We came together so we don’t have to journey alone anymore.
‘AABOBO’ has simply no other agenda.
Money, networking, hustling for work, career opportunities are conspicuous by their absence at ‘AABOBO’.
The fingerprints you see in our logo are the current members of ‘AABOBO’. It’s an ever-expanding community. Everyone who joins us leaves her/his thumbprint at ‘AABOBO’, therefore becoming a part of this journey. You shape the community because you ARE the community.
We will meet for screenings of indie short films / documentaries / features, discussions, retrospectives, idea exchanges every few months. Everyone (and the cats and dogs they know and love) is welcome to join us in that.
If you’re reading this, and want to step in, come. The only requirement we have of you is that you love the endless artistic battle that is indie cinema. And want to give to this community a little bit of you, and take away from it a little bit of the rest of us.
AABOBO!
