Experimental Forum is an international performance, film and video art festival showcasing experimental film and artists’ moving image from new directors and innovative video artists from around the globe, with the third edition taking place in Los Angeles in November 2018. Our aim is to provide a supportive platform for the exciting and challenging work that is outside the scope of mainstream film festivals and art galleries.
We welcome experimental cinema pieces (abstract, narrative or documentary), video art works, essay films, artists’ moving image and media art, as well as documentary and narrative films that seek to expand, redefine or reconfigure the means and ends of their respective fields. Experimental Forum exists to provide access to, and develop audiences for, artists’ moving image work and is committed to engaging local audiences with new and/or unheard voices in film.
We are particularly interested in works made by early stage filmmakers and artists whose work is underrepresented. We provide a collaborative platform for moving image works made for the gallery and for the cinema with the aim of building a community across disciplinary and institutional faultlines.

Wandering Reel is a traveling short film festival with a focus on bringing meaningful films to communities with limited or no access to compassionate, thought-provoking cinema. We strive to engage our audiences in deeper conversation about the role of cinema, and how films can relate to community, conscious living, and contribute to making the world a stronger and more unified place.
Artists have long been at the forefront of social innovation. The Wandering Reel believes in the power of film art to effect positive change, to bring people together through shared cultural experiences and to inspire conversation and collaboration between individuals and communities through the common experience of cinema. By exposing underserved communities with films that are artful in their meaning and compassionate and conscious in their approach, the boundaries that divide people can be slowly stripped away, cultures can be enriched and peace grown across the globe.
We serve anyone with a hunger for inventive, resonant cinema. We curate our films to communities that want to participate in a deeper dialogue about the power of film to effect positive change. In addition to theaters, we screen at schools, community centers, libraries, churches, museums, galleries, retirement homes, prisons, cafes, breweries, and anywhere an audience can comfortably gather to watch and discuss movies.
Fall 2017/Winter 2018 Tours
Our touring schedule begins in October of each year and continues through the spring of the following year, criss-crossing the United States and sometimes popping up in venues all over the world. Our first two seasons saw our films screen dozens of venues from southern California to British Columbia, and Colorado to Vermont. This fall and next winter/spring we'll return to many of these locations and do our best to expand our reach to different parts of the United States and even around the world.

V FESTIVAL NACIONAL DE CINEMA RURAL DE AYACUCHO
O Festival de Cinema Rural surgiu na cidade de Ayacucho em 2016 como uma iniciativa da Direção de Cultura para promover a produção audiovisual em nossa cidade.
Embora a área de trabalho audiovisual pertença à esfera artística, também pode ser aplicada de acordo com disciplinas educativas, ambientais, científicas, tecnológicas, políticas, empresariais e comerciais para dar alguns exemplos.
Em seguida, listamos algumas das ideias centrais, de acordo com o tempo e os recursos, que foram e serão desenvolvidas neste espaço:
- Direção e coordenação geral do Festival de Cinema Rural.
- Impulsionar e promover o cinema e espaços de projeção alternativos.
- Ligação e cooperação entre escolas rurais e urbanas.
- Geração de projetos socioeducativos em escolas, institutos e centros de formação.
- Ditado de cursos e formação aberta à comunidade.
- Produção de conteúdos audiovisuais e recursos para os escritórios municipais.
- Produção de curtas-metragens locais que abrangem histórias fictícias e problemas sociais como agroecologia, meio ambiente, agrotóxicos, trabalho rural, violência de gênero, bullying e cyberbullying, vícios, aborto, abandono escolar, perspectiva de gênero, inclusão social, entre outros.
- Formação de professores em todas as fases da produção audiovisual.
Entendemos isso como uma forma de promover a produção artístico-social local e a reflexão em virtude da promoção do pluralismo cultural e da integração da nossa comunidade.
