Festival Description:

The MIX Festival returns with a full slate of film, video, installation art, performances and parties! With a new vision and a new team, the MIX NYC organization is doing more things year round. In addition to our monthly screenings at Collective; Unconscious, the ACT UP Oral History project continues to document the vicissitudes of AIDS activism, by interviewing members of the radical group. They also reformulated A Different Take, our media training program, which is now aimed at queer youth, in an intensive summer session. And the festival has moved to what is for some uncharted territory—Lower Manhattan. Ensconced in the sleek, Kubrickian space of the 3LD Art & Technology Center, MIX is ready for its cinema odyssey with more space for installations and performances than ever before!

MIX NYC screens Experimental films and videos about GLBT issues and culture. Alternative and controversial films are encouraged to submit.
