"Experimenta India is an artist run platform that encourages
uncompromising, fresh, compelling and critically urgent experimentation
with the moving image in India.
Founded by filmmaker Shai Heredia in 2003, this groundbreaking
platform has over the years played a significant role in countering the
hegemony of the mainstream Indian film industry. Through nurturing an
alternative community that reflects upon, and examines the different
traces of Indian artists’ film and video, both historical and
contemporary, we engage in a series of projects that bring together
Indian and international film artists with similar creative and
socio-political concerns. Besides curating EXPERIMENTA, the critically
acclaimed bi-annual festival, we also showcase Indian experimental film
and video at international film festivals and art venues like the Tate
Modern (London), the Berlinale Film festival (Berlin), Images festival
(Toronto), EXiS festival (Seoul) amongst others.
While bringing Indian moving image art into international prominence,
we have also hosted International artists residencies in Mumbai and
Bangalore, curated regular screenings and conducted film art workshops
across India. Ultimately as an alternative community we have played a
significant role in evolving independent, new and radical discourse for
film as an art practice in India."
