Prismatic Ground is an annual festival in New York City centered on experimental documentary and avant-garde film. Co-hosted by Screen Slate and presented in venues spanning three boroughs plus online offerings, Prismatic Ground platforms work that pushes the formal boundaries of non-fiction in the spirit and tradition of experimental filmmaking. Now in its fifth season, the festival presents two exclusive New York premieres at BAM Rose Cinemas, showcasing feature-length films from Yehui Zhao and Amit Dutta, whose short films were included in previous Prismatic Ground lineups.
