Experiments in Cinema v21.5 regular call for submissions, and YOUTH LENS PROGRAM call for submissions!! Basement Films’ annual international film festival is proud to announce not only our regular call for submissions for our next edition of Experiments in Cinema, but we are now also accepting submissions for our annual YOUTH LENS PROGRAM that is part of EIC (April 16-19, 2026). EIC will take place at the Guild Cinema in Albuquerque, New Mexico and will consist of film screenings, lectures, special curated programs, live cinema events as well as workshops.
Our regular call for submissions and our YOUTH LENS call for submissions are open from August 1 – November 1, 2025 through *FilmFreeway*. The YOUTH LENS PROGRAM can be accessed at https://filmfreeway.com/ExperimentsInCinemaYouthLens. The regular call for submissions can be found at https://filmfreeway.com/ExperimentsinCinema. Note that the YOUTH LENS is reserved for anyone 18 years of age or younger. For more details please find us on Film Freeway. For additional information about the YOUTH LENS contact curator Nina Shoenfeld at [email protected] or print traffic controller Nicole Delmar at [email protected]. For more info about the regular call for submissions please contact Bryan Konefsky at [email protected]. We are seeking new and old moving image art that will engage audiences with the magic and wonder that IS un-dependent cinema! Submissions might be (but are not limited to) essay films, dance films, film poems, structural films, post-structural films, post-post structural films, underground films, abstract films, experimental narratives, experimental documentaries, transgressive films, portrait films, political rant films… Challenge us and make us happy. If your creative output requires fancy press packages, agents to be contacted, a world premiere, or descriptions like “…think The Little Mermaid on steroids…,” or character development that can only be understood in terms of a traditional narrative arc, you might do well to find a different festival to screen your film. Cinematically yours, Team EIC -- Bryan Konefsky, Visualiste Artistic Director, Experiments in Cinema President Basement Films ================ PO Box 9229 Albuquerque, NM 87119 USA
