Syndicate: Independent Exposure Call for Works

["Joel S. Bachar" <joel@speakeasy.org>]

 
 
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.
For those interested, here is our Distribution through 
Exhibition Call for Works 
Blackchair Productions is accepting short video, film and 
digital-media submissions of 
30 minutes or less on an ongoing basis for their monthly screening 
program called Independent Exposure. 2000 is the fifth year of the 
program and we want to include you in the show! Artists will be paid an 
honorarium AND will qualify for a non-exclusive distribution deal, which 
will include additional license fees for international offline and online 
sales! We are looking for short experimental, narrative, alternative, 
avant-garde, humorous, dramatic, erotic, subversive, animation and underground 
works. Works selected will, in most cases, continue on to national and 
international venues for additional screenings and may qualify for our DVD/VHS 
home video compilations as well as Netcasting via our microcinema.com website. 
Submit a VHS/or S-VHS (NTSC preferred) clearly labeled with name, title, length, 
phone-number along with any support materials including photos! Due to the large
