Festival Description:

TIE, The International Experimental Cinema Exposition exists to illuminate experimental film of the highest caliber, as well as join, recognize and serve filmmakers who are dedicated to the art and experimentation of the celluloid motion picture.

TIE, The International Experimental Cinema Exposition was conceived in Telluride, Colorado (2000) by film curator, Christopher May in a vision shared with his colleagues to join the world of experimental/avant-garde film and exhibit a high-caliber, international experimental cinema. In doing so, TIE created the dual mission to preserve the fundamental qualities of cinema and film exhibition. TIE insists that experimental motion picture films and their makers hold the fundamental key in illuminating the truest form of cinema. Since the festival's inception, it has screened over 600 innovative historic and contemporary films and joined over 200 of the world's leading avant-gardists.

TIE moves forward via its exclusive, firm dedication to celluloid motion picture projection, internationally, with the intensive multi-day festival, new curatorial research, exhibitions, restoration projects, archival studies, scholarly presentations, educational activities and various film screenings. TIE is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
