While I missed listing the April 10 “Regional Youth Program” — which was technically the opening night — below is the lineup for the rest of Experiments in Cinema v.5.1. that will run April 14-18 at several venues in Albuquerque, New Mexico, including the Guild Cinema.

This is four nights and one day of some of the best cutting edge experimental films and videos being made today. Each night — and the day — is jam-packed with over three hours or of unique and intriguing short films made by filmmakers such as Sylvia Schedelbauer, Vanessa Renwick, Robert Todd, and Kerry Laitala. All told, there will 50 films from 13 countries screening, including 12 World Premieres.

Although Experiments in Cinema is truly an international event, festival director Bryan Konefsky is placing a special emphasis on regional filmmaking and has invited other festival directors and film curators to showcase works from their particular region. Montse Badia will screen Spanish experimental video, Isabel Fondevila will showcase works from San Franciso filmmakers, Bart Weiss will show films from Pakistan and Chris McNamara presents a night of Canadian cinema.

I do have one film to recommend specifically: Ben Russell‘s surreal ethnographic film Trypps #6 (Malobi). The film is a real trip (pun intended) as you get a brief glimpse of how Halloween is celebrated on the Equator.

The full lineup is below. And if you need more info, including screening locations, please visit the official Experiments in Cinema website.
