(an)other Irish cinema

 ‘(An)Other Irish Cinema’ is the title under which Donal Foreman, Rouzbeh Rashidi and Maximilian Le Cain jointly screen their formally challenging short films. It was sucessfully launched with a series of screenings at The Exchange Collective Arts Centre, Dublin during the Summer and continued with a further screening at the renowned Lucca Film Festival, Italy, in October.

 
‘(An)Other Irish Cinema’ is actually three ‘other’ Irish cinemas…

It is the work of three resolutely independent filmmakers based in Ireland who have built up prolific filmographies over the past decade in complete creative freedom, taking full advantage of the liberty for experimentation that low-and-no budget production offers. Although the visions audiences discover in the films of Donal Foreman, Rouzbeh Rashidi and Maximilian Le Cain are very different, they are linked by the use of exploratory, non-script-based approaches to filmmaking and by a keen awareness of the cinema histories that have explored the medium’s possibilities far beyond the accepted rules of the multiplex.

Foreman, Rashidi and Le Cain formed ‘(An)Other Irish Cinema’ as a platform for joint screenings, to showcase their work and, in so doing, to propose the possibility of an/other filmmaking culture in Ireland.
