2005 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Independent Exposure short film and video screening program. This program, on its own, or coupled with Volume 2 is the definitive retrospective of the 1300+ unique and diverse short films and videos presented in Independent Exposure over the past ten years.
The Substation offers a home to cultivate and foster imaginations, particularly those that find other spaces inhospitable. For Art cannot be without freedom and it has no enemies except ignorance. And so The Substation is also a school: a place of learning, of discovery and of experimentation. School not just in the sense of a classroom: but classroom-cum-gymnasium: For Art makes equal demands of both mind and muscle. This is possible, indeed only desirable, because The Substation is also a meeting place: a node, where Art, artists and art-lovers mingle, muse and meditate. Which is why The Substation is always open: open in mind and heart and attitude. Embracing all who choose to come: including those who don't: containing at once consonance and conflict.
