Súitú - Artists and Experimental film screening takes place this Friday
The screening in the Stac Chapel is on this Friday evening
Súitú, a programme of contemporary moving image works by Irish & international artists, toured by aemi and supported by Arts Council of Ireland.
Curated by aemi, Súitú brings together some of the most affecting moving image works by Irish and international artist filmmakers we encountered over the past year.
The programme features films by Fábio Andrade (Brazil), Susan Hughes (Northern Ireland), Morgan Quaintance (UK), Bárbara Lago (Argentina), Sofia Theodore-Pierce (USA), Lisa Freeman (Ireland) and Holly Márie Parnell (Ireland).
Súitú – an Irish language term pronounced Suet-two – is the sucking in-and-out sound of stones on the shoreline at night, often heard in springtime when large waves pull pebbles and then roll them back in.
Evoking the elemental, the programme’s pacing picks up not just on the familiar ebb and flow of the sea, but also the rhythmic actions that circumscribe contemporary lived experience.
From inner psychological journeys to the phenomenological, the seven films in this programme together offer an emotional, embodied and deeply sensory experience.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Alice Butler, co-director of aemi, more details about it can be found on theri website: https://aemi.ie/?mc_cid=9d4e7d3e19&mc_eid=e413ce2fd8
