Experimental Exposure

“… avant-garde and commercial cinema, that is, the art and the industry of film, form an inseparable whole.” – Germaine Dulac

Experimental Exposure is a series centered around historically relevant and rare masterworks in the avant garde and experimental cinematic tradition. This series aims to create greater access to experimental films — often overlooked for their nonconformist approach and deviance from the Hollywood film system — for Portland audiences both old and new. As an ode to the materiality of the medium, all programs will be screened on 16mm film!

In tandem with our screening series, Experimental Exposure is an ongoing archival project that promotes relevant supplemental materials both historical and textual. Follow us on Instagram @exposureexperimental for more information.
