Split of Light: Experimental Media
New York Film/Video Council Panel @ EAI
535 West 22nd Street, 5th floor
New York, NY 10011
EAI hosted a panel discussion organized by the New York Film/Video Council (NYFVC). The panel considered how experimental film and video has been impacted by the art world's increased interest in the moving image, parallel to a changed environment for independent media production and exhibition. The panel also took into consideration how the very term "experimental"—sometimes used interchangeably with "avant-garde" and "underground"—has been defined by audience demographics, and distribution, exhibition, and production models.
Moderated by Rebecca Cleman, EAI's Director of Distribution, the panel will include Thomas Beard, co-founder and director of Light Industry; Andrew Lampert, artist, programmer, and archivist at Anthology Film Archives; Alex Kitnick of Greene Naftali Gallery; and MM Serra, filmmaker and Executive Director of Film-maker's Coop.
Founded in the 1940s, the New York Film and Video Council is New York's oldest continuously operating non-profit serving the independent film, video and electronic arts community. Membership to the Council includes free entry to programming and events for the year. http://www.nyfvc.org
