ABOUT INDEPENDENT EXPOSURE
Since its inception in 1996, Independent Exposure has been a curatorial effort designed to bring the newest and most innovative short films to an untapped, broader audience by using non-traditional venues. These showcases are exhibited in non-traditional venues or "microcinemas" such as galleries, microcinemas, museums, outdoors, and other alternative spaces that support the independent visual arts. To date, Independent Exposure has been presented hundreds of times in 44 countries plus Palestine and Antarctica and at base camp on Mt. Everest.
Beyond our regular San Francisco events, recent screenings included The Ambient Film Festival in Ithaca, NY, Anchorage Alaska, a widely covered Halloween screening in San Francisco, a showing of films at Virgin Mobile Fest, Festival Nemo in Paris, and a screening of Independent Exposure at one of Asthmatic Kitty Record's curated Unusual Animals show in Houston. Over the past ten years Independent Exposure has screened in small towns and some of the world's major cities - in small venues and world renowned facilities.
Since 2005, Independent Exposure has teamed up with a partner to curate the screening programs and select prize winners and a "best-of" selection. Recent partners include Addictive TV, Hal Hartley, and Asthmatic Kitty Records. This year we are pleased to partner with Academy Award Nominated Animator Bill Plympton.
From the earliest screenings of Independent Exposure animated film and video have played a central role in our program," says founder Patrick Kwiatkowski. "Bill Plympton is going to attract world class animators and we are very excited about our program this year."
