It is within the realm of what has become commonly known as ‘artist moving image’ that we continue to encounter models for documentary film practice that are for the most part utterly unlike those we have otherwise become accustomed to.
This programme curated for Docs Ireland by aemi (www.aemi.ie) – an organisation dedicated to the support and exhibition of artist and experimental moving image practices – takes its focus primarily on Irish filmmakers and artists, each working outside or stretching the limits of what we traditionally recognise as documentary film.
