Since its creation in 2000, The International Experimental Cinema Exposition, or TIE, has been a festival concerned with the preservation and continued exhibition of avant-garde film, as well as presenting new and innovative experimental cinema. It has grown impressively in stature and in scope and is widely considered to be the most important film exhibition of its kind. Major avant-garde film figures such as the late Stan Brakhage, Bernardo Vorobow, Standish Lawder, M. M. Serra, and Peter Tscherkassky have sat on its board. In addition to the multi-day festival featuring films and filmmakers from around the globe, it hosts new curatorial research, film exhibitions, restoration projects, archival studies and scholarly presentations. TIE's selection of works is organized around what its mission describes as the "film language": works that illuminate the medium of film and what it is. TIE was founded as a means to present thoughtfully-programmed and diverse experimental cinema while at the same time creating a vital gathering of creative minds for the medium.
