The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA) presents a new edition of TIE, The International Experimental Cinema Exposition – a one-day screening of experimental films by innovative and renowned avant-gardists on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010 at 1:30 PM.

This two-part program, curated specifically for the ICA, illuminates the continuing vitality of experimental cinema with 16mm and 35mm films, several of which are world premiers. The show includes a section of films by Boston artists. Filmmakers in both parts join TIE curator, Christopher May, to answer questions.
