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 nontraditional 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 44 countries, plus Palestine, Antarctica and a base camp on Mt. Everest.
