Artist Support

As an Arts Council funded organisation aemi offers a number of different supports to artists including workshops, funding clinics, one-on-one artist advisory sessions, as well as a monthly newsletter highlighting events, opportunities and submission deadlines for film artists.

aemi’s role as a resource organisation is made possible through the support of the Arts Council Ireland.

These supports are offered in collaboration with partner organisations Temple Bar Gallery + Studios and LUX, London.

A still image from research film material by Frank Sweeney for his forthcoming film called 2 Channel Land. The image mixes together different shots of domestic rooftops with 2 aerials and a church bell tower. The grainy, analogue footage is largely desaturated, with a thin bright green line from the footage’s transmission appearing vertically.
