Weird Weird Movie Kids Do Not Watch the Movie at CineSalon Festival

The second edition of CineSalon Experimental Film Festival took place in December 2025.

A festival celebrating personal, poetic and formally experimental filmmaking, it featured in-person events in Cobh & Cork City, Ireland and an extensice online programme.

It opened with Worse Things Happen at Sea, an evening of film and performance at Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh. The centrepiece of the programme is an unsung part of the venue’s history: Weird Weird Movie Kids Do Not Watch the Movie, a haunting experimental feature by Rouzbeh Rashidi & Maximilian Le Cain made in response to the ghostly atmosphere of the building and shot entirely within its walls. Although completed in 2013, this is the first ever screening in Sirius Arts Centre, bringing the work and its location and inspiration together in a unique experience.

The event also featured:

Prelude to Amusements (Shells Kamiel Le Cain & Mick O’Shea) (live performance)

Amusements (Shells Kamiel Le Cain)

Morphosis (Lichun Tseng & Mick O’Shea)

Where the Forest Dreams (Darja-Kazimira Zimina)
