Microcinema's mission is to curate, exhibit, promote, and distribute innovative international moving image artists whose deeply personal and culturally relevant works are typically marginalized by the mainstream entertainment industry.

Microcinema curates thoughtful, unique, and diverse screening programs, which are promoted, exhibited and distributed via alternative venues worldwide. Promotion and dissemination of works via such screenings creates a necessary dialogue between artists and audiences, worldwide.

Microcinema supports this mission via exhibition-based events, advocacy, education and archiving, as well as by developing infrastructural support for alternative media organizations, labels, and venues worldwide. In doing so, Microcinema catalyzes the establishment of an international network of shared moving image programming, resources, information, and equipment.

Microcinema's Independent Exposure is a touring screening program of independent films, videos, and digital art that has been in existence since 1996. Independent Exposure is screened worldwide at various microcinemas and alternative venues and festivals around the world. Microcinema has presented the short film, video and digital works of over 1300 artists in 43 countries plus Palestine and Antarctica.

Our recently launched DVD Label and Distribution business - the Blackchair Label and Microcinema DVD - further pushes our mission. We currently carry over 450 titles and distribute worldwide.
