Light Industry is a pioneering microcinema in Brooklyn, NY, devoted to showcasing cinema in all its forms—from avant-garde and experimental works to video art, underground film, and obscure international gems. Founded in 2008 by curators Ed Halter and Thomas Beard, Light Industry serves as a vital hub for artists, critics, and cinephiles, blending the worlds of contemporary art and film through weekly screenings, performances, and lectures. Now located at 361 Stagg Street in Williamsburg, the venue continues to draw on New York’s rich legacy of alternative art spaces and independent film exhibition. Events are often organized in collaboration with guest curators, fostering a varied and dynamic program. Light Industry thrives on grassroots support, operating with a lean, community-driven ethos while receiving backing from foundations like Warhol and Mellon. With a mission to spark dialogue and innovation in the cinematic arts, Light Industry remains one of the city’s most intellectually rigorous and creatively bold screening spaces.
