Bryan Konefsky Builds Experimental Cinema in Albuquerque | Santa Fe News

For two decades, Bryan Konefsky has turned Albuquerque into a beacon for experimental cinema through his groundbreaking festival, Experiments in Cinema. Born from a passion to revive interest in overlooked moving-image art, the event has grown from one night to an international celebration — all without chasing awards or stars. Now in its 22nd year, it’s proving that community and creativity thrive when you dare to be different. Konefsky believes cinema must reflect the human condition, and New Mexico’s rich film history is missing this vital voice. Submissions are open until November 1st for v22.3, with the in-person fest hitting Albuquerque April 15–18, 2027, and an online run April 29–May 11. It’s a defiant, vital space for artists pushing boundaries — and reminding us why experimental film still matters.
