Experiments in Cinema v22.3
Emerging or unverified festival
Experiments in Cinema v22.3 is an annual international, non-competitive film festival in Albuquerque organized by Basement Films. It is notable for championing "un-dependent" and experimental moving-image work—such as essay films, film poems, structural and abstract films, experimental narratives and documentaries, video installations, and expanded-cinema performances—alongside screenings, lectures, workshops, and live multimedia events. The festival is significant in the experimental film circuit for its artist-centered approach and its role in connecting international experimental filmmakers with local audiences and emerging media artists in New Mexico.
