Light Industry

Light Industry is an American microcinema founded by Ed Halter and Thomas Beard.

[2] After opening in Industry City, they moved to a storefront in Downtown Brooklyn and later offered itinerant programming at other venues such as Anthology Film Archives and ISSUE Project Room.

They eventually built a wooden projection booth named after director Chantal Akerman, who had previously criticized the layout when presenting a film by Michael Snow.

[4] In 2017 Light Industry partnered with Anthology Film Archives to republish Stan Brakhage's Metaphors on Vision, with annotations by P. Adams Sitney.

[8] Light Industry generally holds one screening each week, specializing in obscure and unusual works.
