Experiments in Cinema History
Notes from 2006 (Experiments in Cinema V 1.0):
For the past two decades media archeologist Bryan Konefsky has traveled to the far reaches of the globe collecting unusual examples of visionary cinema and un-dependent moving image art.
In a very rare public appearance, Bryan Konefsky will share highlights of his historic media findings with Albuquerque and the world!! You will be shocked and amazed by cinema produced for less than $1,000! Marvel at movies that do not feature Tom Cruise or Coca Cola! Witness film artists who have the audacity to thumb their noses at Hollywood’s silver screen! Do not miss this program of scandalously produced short, non-narrative films that do not depend on pyrotechnic effects or crane shots to tell their stories!
How Experiments in Cinema V 1.0 was organized in 2006:
In 2006 Experiments in Cinema was a curated program (2 nights). Curators Bryan Konefsky (Basement Films, Albuquerque), Chris McNamara (Media City, Windsor Ontario), and Laura Neitzel (Dallas Video Festival) collaborated to produce two evenings of international, contemporary experimental cinema.

Experiments in Cinema V 4.2 will screen works culled from our international call for submissions (postmark deadline is January 10, 2009 – we will begin accepting submissions September 10, 2009). The event will take place at the Southwest Film Center on the campus of the University of New Mexico, 516 Arts (downtown Albuquerque) and at the Guild Cinema in Albuquerque April 16, 17, 18, and 19, 2009. The recently renovated Southwest Film Center, 516 Arts and the Guild Cinema have the capability to screen 35mm, 16mm, and digital video (mini dv and DVD). In past years we have hosted audiences of more than 300 people for our four day event, and we expect a great turnout again this year.
Experiments in Cinema V4.2 is currently seeking unembedded, un-dependent film/video work for our 2009 festival.
Experiments in Cinema is an annual collaboration between Basement Films, and the Department of Cinematic Arts at the University of New Mexico.
Experiments in Cinema is supported by generous funding from the Department of Cinematic Arts ICLS Program, the McCune Charitable Foundation and New Mexico Arts.
