  1. The attentive viewer will have noticed that I have not been very forthcoming with more information about the planned retrospective of my films at Cinema Nova in Brussels the coming weekend; Due to previously unplanned renovation works Nova is opening a few weeks later this year, so unfortunately we had to postpone the programmes with a focus on my work.
    I will post the new dates as soon as I have them !

  6. aemi, TBG+S & IFI present: Bourdieu by Morgan Quaintanc

    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.

  22. aemi’s 2026 touring programme ‘Desire Lines’

    The Model, Sligo, Wednesday, September 2 at 10:00 AM GMT+1

    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:

    1. aemi @ The Model: ‘Desire Lines’ – showing from September 2nd to October 31st

    2. aemi & Louth International Film Festival: ‘Desire Lines’ – 25th September

    3. 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.

  24. aemi @ GAZE Film Festival 2026: Joy Boy: A Tribute to Julius Eastman & How to Dance

    Irish Film Institute (IFI), Sunday, August 2 at 03:00 PM GMT+1

    In collaboration with GAZE Film Festival aemi presents ‘Joy Boy: A Tribute To Julius Eastman’ which sees six filmmakers come together to pay cinematic tribute to the transcendent music, queer activism, and vibrant spirituality of African American composer, performer, and activist Julius Eastman (1940–1990). Originally a classically trained pianist, Eastman became a central figure in New York’s experimental music scene in the late 1970s. His music is known for its slow, cumulative structure, often bearing politically charged titles such as Evil N**** and Gay Guerrilla, marking both a radical compositional stance and an uncompromising political gesture.

    Sunday 2nd August @ 15:00 | Irish Film Institute

    Join us at the IFI for a screening and Q&A with directors Aileen Ye (How to Dance) and Victoire Karera Kampire (Joy Boy), representing Collectif Faire Part whose film Speech For A Melting Statue features in aemi’s 2026 touring programme, ‘Desire Lines’.

    Synopsis:

    An homage to Julius Eastman (1940–1980), African American pianist, composer, homosexual – legendary for his voice and his stage presence, who died in poverty. Joy Boy alterates between his music and archival voice recordings – visualised by a trans-national, six-headed collective in four chapters. Inflamed by colonial and life history, raw, radical and crystal clear. Coming from a wide spectrum of theoretical and artistic practices, the directors partake in a complex collaboration, independent and collective at the same time, in solidarity with Eastman and each other. (Barbara Wurm for Berlinale)

    Directors: Mawena Yehouessi, Fallon Mayanja, Rob Jacobs, Victoire Karera Kampire, Paul Shemisi, Anne Reijniers

    Producers: Rob Jacobs, Victoire Karera Kampire, Fallon Mayanja, Anne Reijniers, Paul Shemisi, Mawena Yehouessi

    ‘How to Dance’ 

    Aileen Ye | Netherlands, UK | 2026 | 10m

    This political dance film studies the body’s capacity to speak in resistance while society is ruled by capital and surveillance. Portraying an impressive performance by Jordan Achiano, who balances intensity and stillness and is captured with great energy and care, the film accompanies his movements with an excerpt from a KRS-One interview, dissecting capitalism and materialism. How to Dance asks us to think about forms of expression beyond the verbal. – Koen de Rooij

    Aileen Ye is a film director and writer from Dublin exploring contemporary subcultures and body politics. Her films have internationally screened at festivals including BFI London Film Festival, IFFR, SXSW London, and exhibited at art institutions such as the Barbican, ICA, LUX, FACT Liverpool, Art Rotterdam, and esea Contemporary. In 2023/24, she won Best International Short Documentary for ‘Midnight Rising’ at Dublin IFF, and was a resident curator for Eye Filmmuseum. In 2022, she was mentored by A24. She has worked with NOWNESS Asia, Sevdaliza, and more.

    📍 Distorted Session #10: Zaostřeno na Maďarsko
    📅 středa 22. 7. od 17:00
    🏛️ Dům umění města Brna

    Ve středu 22. 7. uvedeme v Domě umění experimentální film Arizona Diary (1992) maďarského mediálního umělce a filmaře Pétera Forgácse, který bude projekci osobně přítomen.

    Film vznikl během cesty po Arizoně s básníkem Györgyem Petrim a umělcem Györgyem Galántaiem. Zachycuje jejich rozhovory, Petriho poezii i setkání se Steinou a Woodym Vašulkovými a vytváří osobitý filmový deník na pomezí dokumentu a uměleckého experimentu.

    Po projekci bude následovat diskuse s Péterem Forgácsem o filmu i jeho dlouhodobé práci s archivními materiály, kterou proslul mimo jiné v cyklu Private Hungary.

    On Wednesday, July 22, we will screen the experimental film Arizona Diary (1992) by Hungarian media artist and filmmaker Péter Forgács, who will be present at the screening.

    The film was made during a trip through Arizona with poet György Petri and artist György Galántai. It captures their conversations, Petri’s poetry, and their encounter with Steina and Woody Vašulka, creating a distinctive film diary that straddles between documentary and artistic experiment.

    The screening will be followed by a discussion with Péter Forgács about the film and his long-term work with archival materials, for which he is known, among other things, for his series Private Hungary.

    📍 Distorted Session #10: Focus on Hungary
    📅 Wednesday, July 22, at 5 pm
    🏛️ House of Arts Brno

    On Wednesday, July 22, we will screen the experimental film Arizona Diary (1992) by Hungarian media artist and filmmaker Péter Forgács, who will be present at the screening.

    The film was made during a trip through Arizona with poet György Petri and artist György Galántai. It captures their conversations, Petri’s poetry, and their encounter with Steina and Woody Vašulka, creating a distinctive film diary that straddles between documentary and artistic experiment.

    The screening will be followed by a discussion with Péter Forgács about the film and his long-term work with archival materials, for which he is known, among other things, for his series Private Hungary.

  41. aemi & IFI present: TRANCE FILMS

    Irish Film Institute (IFI), Tuesday, June 30 at 06:30 PM GMT+1

    aemi presents a very special international programme of experimental ‘trance films’.

    The films selected here bypass comprehension, these are works that are experienced first and understood later (if at all). In his notes on Austrian filmmaker Jung an Tagen’s A Flock of Rotations Christian Höller describes how ‘there is no boundary here, no outside, no escape’ and this applies across a selection of films that take us from an explicitly digital realm to the far more earthly realm of the Atacama Desert in Daïchi Saïto’s EARTHEARTHEARTH (screening here in a beautiful 35mm print). As Alejandro Bachmann notes in relation to Happy Doom ‘the boundaries between inside and outside, me and the world, the virtual and the material, all become permeable, ambiguous, irrelevant’. A perfect descriptor for a programme that skirts the outer realm of psychedelia and cinema.

    The screening includes two works screening from 35mm prints, both courtesy of Light Cone.

    A Flock of Rotations – Jung an Tagen

    Continuously falling pitches – descending into infinity.

    Fuddy Duddy – Siegfried A. Fruhauf

    In Siegfried A. Fruhauf´s Fuddy Duddy, something resembling a big bang is seen, with an energy resulting from the struggle between order and chaos. Everything we see takes place within a linear force field – whatever happens in the black and white images that arise from invisible sources of artistic creativity, whatever reveals its presence the instant it disappears. The lines themselves begin to flicker. It is as if they emerge from lidless eyes – were it only possible – yet they do not give way. The crucial grid underlying classical aesthetics of harmony and measurement begins to glow, but it does not go up in flames- Bert Rebhandl

    Happy Doom – Billy Roisz

    HAPPY DOOM is an audiovisual poem, an ode to color intoxication and vertigo. The screen a vibrating membrane that simultaneously spits and swallows colors and noisy beats – a hypnotic deformed circumpolar psychedelic short trip.

    Ville Maria – Alexandre Larose

    This film is inspired from a dream during which I fall from the top of a high-rise building facing the sky- Alexandre Larose

    EARTHEARTHEARTH – Daïchi Saïto

    Dawn breaks where land is flesh
    And bones’ echoes;
    You’ve lived through extinctions –
    Stars, skies, sand and seas;
    Future is catching us up at last,
    And all the dead are ahead of us.

    A major film from a singular artist, earthearthearth is a pulsing, painterly tour de force. – Michael Sicinski
