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.

The Kite Ballet — Thaís Muniz
The Dock Arts Centre, Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 AM GMT+1
The Kite Ballet is a multidisciplinary series comprising the eponymous film, alongside textiles and sculpture. The work reflects on territoriality, community, joy, and degrowth, while advocating for play in adulthood as a revolutionary act.
The Kite Ballet by Thaís Muniz intertwines poetic and mythical elements with political, historical, and symbolic themes, amplifying the voices of local activists from the Itapuã area in Salvador, Brazil. The film portrays a group of kite runners in their weekly communal ritual, highlighting the threat of private development and ecological displacement of Afro-Indigenous sacred territory, where joy and spiritual practices have thrived for centuries. The film advocates for play and negotiation with nature as revolutionary acts.
Thaís Muniz is a Brazilian-Irish visual artist and researcher working across multiple mediums to explore the intersections of inherited and acquired identities, memory, transit, and inward love. Her community-oriented practice unfolds through intimate communal learning processes, including workshop, performance, installation, sculpture, and film. Her work also spans photography, celebrations, and activations, often incorporating archives, personal memorabilia, and symbology.
Muniz’s practice engages with the reimagination of realities through mechanisms of refusal, dreaming, and personal magic, challenging and expanding canonical systems of representation, building connections, and opening conversations. A central aspect of her work involves activating spaces through presence and critically engaging with the geopolitics of place.
More information about this exhibition can be found via The Dock's website.

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

aemi & Docs Ireland present: Desire Lines
aemi is delighted to present ‘Desire Lines‘ at the eighth edition of the very brilliant Docs Ireland. This year’s edition of the aemi touring programme brings together a variety of innovative approaches to the documentary form from contemporary Irish and international filmmakers.

Das Werner Herzog Experiment – „About a Hero“ (2024)
Dieser Krimi-Film-Fake will keine Antworten geben, sondern Fragen verschärfen. Ein Fabrikarbeiter stirbt, irgendwo in einer Stadt, die so fiktiv klingt, dass sie real wirken könnte. Was bleibt, ist ein Rätsel, das sofort ausfranst. Erzählt wird mit einer Stimme, die nach Werner Herzog klingt, aber nicht Herzog ist, sondern eine KI, gefüttert mit seinem Tonfall, seinen Sätzen, seinen Obsessionen. Parallel dazu tauchen ganz reale Stimmen auf: Philosoph:innen, Künstler:innen, Intellektuelle, die in kurzen Interventionen die großen Fragen verhandeln. (ARTE, TV-Premiere)

Finally watched Jeanne Dielman (1975). I loved it, and wouldn't hesitate to call it a masterpiece, but approach with caution unless you have the patience for *radically* slow avant-garde films
Here's a short introduction from writer–director Chantal Akerman:
