Independent Exposure 2007
The 12th Season
A Worldwide Microcinema Screening Program of International Short Films, Videos and Digital Works
Independent Exposure is one of those cool and vital efforts at curatorship which helps new films get seen by audiences who seek out new forms of entertainment. Microcinema does a great job of pulling together exciting new work and I look forward to being the judge for the 2007 season.
Since its inception in 1996, Independent Exposure has gained an enviable reputation as an important showcase for contemporary, progressive, artistic, and culturally relevant short films and videos. Each Independent Exposure program is thoughtfully curated to present diverse and eclectic works in a relevant and intentional context. The curatorial aesthetic is further supported by the presentation of the Independent Exposure series in non-traditional venues or "microcinemas" such as galleries, cafes, bars, nightclubs, outdoors, and other alternative spaces that support the independent arts. To date, Independent Exposure has been presented hundreds of times in 43 countries plus Palestine and Antarctica and a base camp on Mt. Everest.
Beyond our San Francisco and Houston events, screenings in 2007 will include New York, Berlin, London, Paris and Baghdad, to name a few. Independent Exposure has been featured on National Public Radio and Channel 4 (U.K.) and in Wired Magazine, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Press, Utne Reader, Filmmaker Magazine, Movie Maker Magazine, and many other international press outlets.
2007 will also see the launch of the Independent Exposure Podcast and the program will be presented across multiple online and mobile platforms. Mobile Exposure 2007's Call for Works will be issued near the end of August 2006.
