Independent Exposure 2005
No Forms/No Deadlines 
 

Independent Exposure - An Ongoing Microcinema Screening Program of 
International Short Films, Videos and Digital Works 

Independent Exposure is based in San Francisco and Houston. The 
program, held continuously since 1996, has presented the short film, 
video and digital works of over 1200 artists from all over the world. 
Beyond the San Francisco and Houston screenings, Independent Exposure 
also has been presented hundreds of times in 43 countries plus 
Palestine and Antarctica. 

2005 is the TENTH season of Independent Exposure, and we are looking 
for works to include in our year-long celebration of ten years of 
screenings. Works included will tour the globe via the International 
Microcinema Network so submit your work now! 

Independent Exposure - Call for Works and Distribution through 
Exhibition Information 

For our Independent Exposure compilation series we accept short video, 
film and digital-media submissions of 15 minutes or less and are 
currently looking for narrative, humorous, dramatic, animation, 
documentary, experimental, alternative, avant-garde, music videos, 
erotic, gay/lesbian, and underground works. 

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: NO DEADLINE/NO FORMS 

Please submit a VHS (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM), mini-DV (NTSC only) or DVD 
(NTSC/PAL) clearly labeled with name, title, length, phone-number and 
email. There is now a US$5.00 entry fee PER FILM for United States and 
Canadian artists. Due to high postage costs, we are waiving entry fees 
to filmmakers from outside the US and Canada. Please include any 
supporting materials including photos! (preferably in digital format). 
Due to the large amount of entries, we are unable to return your 
submission but we will get back to you regarding your submission(s). 

Microcinema will contact you before including any entry at its monthly 
Independent Exposure screening in San Francisco and/or Houston. All 
artists will be paid an honorarium when their work is screened in the 
San Francisco and Houston shows. Artists also will qualify for a non- 
exclusive Microcinema Distribution through Exhibition Agreement for 
subsequent international screenings and future DVD releases. 
Microcinema pays its artists royalties for screenings, TV broadcast, 
VHS/DVD and Internet sales.
