2008 PIKES PEAK EDITION
Since 2000, the world-renowned TIE festival has been a leading champion
of artists still working in the medium of film, with a particular focus
on both new and historical avant-garde cinema. TIE returns to the Pikes
Peak area with new Super-8 and 16mm programs. The exhibition features an
eclectic range of experimental films that illuminate the continuing
vitality and beauty of celluloid, while subtle and at times obvious
philosophical and thematic curatorial gestures conduct the flow of the
programs. The shows feature several highlights from recent TIE festivals
(held in Uruguay, Argentina, Colorado, and Canada) as well as new film
premiers.
