Selections from TIE: The International Experimental Cinema Exposition
Introduced by TIE founder/director Christopher May
Experimental Cinema
Challenging, nonnarrative, or abstract--experimental works of all kinds make their way to the screen at the Wexner Center.
Since 2000, the Colorado-based TIE festival has been a leading champion of artists still working in the medium of film, with a particular focus on new and historical avant-garde cinema.
This program, specifically selected for the Wexner Center by TIE founder/director Christopher May, features an eclectic range of short films that show the continuing vitality and beauty of celluloid.
The phrase “film festival” has become a misnomer as most contemporary festivals show some (or most) of their selections on video. The Colorado-based TIE festival is one of the last true FILM festivals in operation. Since 2000, TIE has been a leading champion of artists still working in the medium of film, with a particular focus on new and historical avant-garde cinema. This program, specifically selected for the Wexner Center by TIE Festival founder/director Christopher May, features an eclectic range of short films that show the continuing vitality and beauty of celluloid.
