CineSalon Experimental Film Festival is a new festival taking place in Cork City, Ireland and online.
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 filmmakers Maximilian Le Cain, Benjamin Burns and Shells Le Cain, 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.
CineSalon has an open call out for short films. A programme of these will take place in-person during the festival to be followed by a series of programmes streaming online between September 14th and September 27th. If you are an experimental filmmaker, please send us your work for consideration – the deadline for entries is Monday August 12th.
CineSalon 2024 also features a long-form screening, live events, featured artist programmes and masterclasses.
This festival grew out of CineSalon, a quarterly experimental film screening event that has taken place at The Guesthouse Project, Cork since June 2023.
