DISSOLUTIONS ’25 is the second edition of aemi’s experimental film festival taking place at The Complex from Friday September 26th to Sunday September 28th. The festival will feature screenings, workshops, and discussions showcasing the best of Irish and international artist film practice. Tickets are available either for a single day or for the entire weekend. 

Over three days we will screen work by over twenty five artists, both Irish and international. DISSOLUTIONS will also feature a number of key collaborators, including Alice Quinn Banville, Clodagh Assata Boyce, Diaa Lagan and Oona Mosna of Media City Film Festival all of whom have generously curated programmes for the festival. 

Our special guests for the festival are celebrated filmmaker Basma Al Sharif and Oona Mosna, artist, author, curator and Artistic Director of Media City Film Festival since 2004. Basma will lead a practice-based workshop and present a solo screening of her work curated by Diaa Lagan. Oona will screen a programme made up of films by artists and directors working across continents, generations, and cinematic languages who have played formative roles in the development of Media City Film Festival’s storied history across the last 20 years.

Across the weekend guests will encounter a wide range of approaches deployed by film artists- works shot on Super 8, 16mm, 35mm but also works shot digitally, on phones and through direct animation. DISSOLUTIONS presents a unique opportunity to encounter a wide spectrum of work representing some of the best artist moving image practice being made globally. Just as importantly the festival offers a chance to feel part of this dynamic and vibrant community made up of artists, filmmakers and audiences alike. We look forward to welcoming you in September!
