Short films and animations to blow your mind. We're pleased to present the return of B Movie Camp, this time as the Twisted Toons Edition. As Kiwiburn's resident movie theatre, we'll be showing a random collection of short films, music videos and animations, none of which will be longer than 10 minutes. Some shorts are suitable for children, others might need a little bit of an explanation. But then, some shorts might not be suitable for adults, either!

Band Camp

For those about to rock, we salivate you. We will rock you. And maybe folk you too. And dub you, punk you, metal you, pop you and orchestrate you. We want to hear from bands, solo singer-songwriters, and people who want to bring an instrument for our jam sessions in Centre Camp. Full bands who contact us before November get priority place in our nighttime concerts.Some gear will be provided - small PA, mixing desk, stage, lighting, shelter. Email jon.helix (at) gmail dotcom to enquire. This is a sound camp, but plans to close at midnight.

Balrogs Playpen

You all know what a Balrog is, well, it had babies... the babies have to learn how to use that fire whip some how, and Kiwiburn is just the place for that. Fire-dancers (balrog babies) unite here with fire-poi, staffs, devil stix, whips, skipping ropes, rope darts... etc... At night we will wow you with our flames, during the day we will show you how it's done without fire... We'll make our papa Balrog proud. Child friendly in the daytime, not so much at night.

THE ARK

Saving you from the Flood. Relaxing space to chill out in the day, take refuge from the madness in the night...or pass out on your way back from The Green Fairy. Come in one by one or two by two.. we will rescue you from the flood and we will satisfy you with our cookies. Child friendly, more so in the daytime.
