CineSalon Experimental Film Festival is a new festival taking place in Cork City, Ireland and online from Friday September 13th: CineSalon Experimental Film Festival.
Its full programme of screenings, talks and performances is now up at cinesalon.org
It celebrates personal, poetic and formally experimental filmmaking from across the world, providing a platform for film artists to share and discuss their work with adventurous audiences in a relaxed atmosphere. Curated by Benjamin Burns, Shells Le Cain and me, this defiantly independent festival exists to showcase the wild reeds of visionary film that ignore accepted cinematic paradigms and are all the more inspiring for it. This festival grew out of CineSalon, a quarterly experimental film screening event that has taken place at The Guesthouse Project, Cork since June 2023.
