Frieze ‘Top Ten Shows from the UK and Ireland’: Revenant Images on aemi-on-demand
Published date: 12 Feb 2021
Thanks Mimi Chu for including aemi-on-demand programme ‘Revenant Images, curated by Patrick Hough’ in Frieze Critic’s Guides: Top Ten Shows from the UK and Ireland
“Another scintillating series of short films is available to watch on aemi, a Dublin-based initiative that supports moving-image works by artists and experimental filmmakers. Curated by Patrick Hough, this screening programme [Revenant Images] takes us from the wonders of early cinema, as explored in Anna Franceschini’s Super 8 film Doposole (2013), in which light flickers over a sumptuous piece of fabric, into a probing childhood re-enactment of the Fall of Pompeii (Christin Turner’s Vesuvius at Home, 2018). Ending with Hough’s And if in a Thousand Years (2017), this series explores the thin line between invention and excavation on which the film medium treads.”
