aemi, TBG+S & IFI present: Bourdieu by Morgan Quaintance
Irish Film Institute (IFI), Saturday, October 3 at 01:30 PM GMT+1
aemi, TBG+S and the IFI present the first screening of Morgan Quaintance’s film Bourdieu followed by an extended conversation and Q&A.
Saturday 03 October @ 13:30
Jarman Award winning artist Morgan Quaintance presents his new film Bourdieu, an experimental feature as part of the artist’s solo exhibition ‘I’ll Always Remember…’ guest curated by aemi Creative Director Alice Butler at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, 3 October – 22 November 2026.
The screening will take place at Cinema 2, IFI, and will be followed by an extended conversation and Q&A.
As the artist writes, ‘At the centre of this film is the idea that time spent in unfamiliar cities or countries can reveal something about the constructed nature of your own, and the arbitrariness of social systems in general. For Pierre Bourdieu it was Algiers in the 1950s/60s; for me it was Chicago in the 1980s. Often this is framed as a negative condition, but here it’s positive. My film places viewers in the compelling centre of images, symbols and social impressions that produced this experience of estrangement and insight for me.’
Using the practical sociology of Pierre Bourdieu as an interpretative frame, Quaintance’s exhibition will present an interrelated body of new moving image, photographic and textbased work. I’ll Always Remember… extends from a new moving image work, titled Bourdieu, in which the sociologist’s analytical tools are used as prompts guiding a biographical retelling of the artist’s childhood experience living between London and Chicago.
Morgan Quaintance’s work has been shown at MOMA, New York; Konsthall C, Stockholm; Courtisane Film Festival, Ghent; Images Festival, Toronto; International Film Festival Rotterdam. He is the recipient of a number of awards for his work; most recently the 2025 Film London Jarman Award.

aemi’s 2026 touring programme ‘Desire Lines’
The Model, Sligo, Saturday, October 31 at 10:00 AM GMT
aemi’s new touring programme ‘Desire Lines’ premiered at the Irish Film Institute on Thursday 22nd January 2026. Featuring films by Chloe Brenan, Collectif Faire Part, Eóin Heaney, Olivia Normile and Basma al-Sharif, the programme will tour to Irish and international venues across 2026.
Upcoming screenings:
aemi @ The Model: ‘Desire Lines’ – showing from September 2nd to October 31st
aemi & Louth International Film Festival: ‘Desire Lines’ – 25th September
aemi & Mermaid Arts Centre: ‘Desire Lines’ – 6th October
‘Desire Lines’ is a term from the field of landscape architecture used, as Sara Ahmed writes in Queer Phenomenology (2006) to ‘describe unofficial paths, those marks left on the ground that show everyday comings and goings, where people deviate from the paths they are supposed to follow.’ Taken as a whole, the films featured in ‘Desire Lines’ by Basma al-Sharif, Chloe Brenan, Olivia Normile, Collectif Faire Part and Eóin Heaney, offer up a picture of imposed and chosen deviation, a picture that takes in experiences of isolation and displacement alongside those of collective resistance and revelation, taking care to capture the fleeting moments where these possibilities can briefly intersect.
‘Desire Lines’ is aemi’s 2026 touring programme, an annual selection of artist and experimental film that brings together a range of voices from Irish and international contemporary practice.
