Syndicate: Independent Exposure Call for Works |
  Blackchair Productionsâ?? Independent Exposure? Program Seattle video and film artist, Joel S. Bachar founded Blackchair Productions in 1992. Due to the overwhelming lack of independent-oriented screening venues, Blackchair Productions began the Independent Exposure Microcinema screening program in 1996. This program, held every month at the Speakeasy Caféâ??s Backroom in Seattle, has presented the short film, video and digital works of over 300 artists from 91 cities in 39 states and 13 countries. The program has also gained an enviable reputation in the international microcinema network maintained in 50 cities, 20 states and 20 countries! 2000 is not only the fifth season of Independent Exposure, but it is marks the beginning of Blackchair Productionsâ?? newest venture, Microcinema.com. Microcinema.com will serve the international film, video, and digital communities and its audiences by leading the Microcinema movement and will promote artists and their works through its international offline and online exhibition and distribution network. Ultimately, Blackchair Productions, through their Distribution through Exhibition efforts, microcinema.com website, and other advocacy efforts, Blackchair Productions hope to expose, promote and distribute the independent video, film and digital arts to the widest audience possible.
