aemi is an Arts Council-funded organisation that supports and regularly exhibits moving image work by artists and experimental filmmakers. Since 2016 aemi has presented screenings in partnership with festivals and venues across Ireland and toured programmes of Irish and international work across the UK and Europe.

For this edition of DIFF, aemi co-director Alice Butler will lead a conversation with IndieLisboa festival programmer and film researcher Anastasia Lukovnikova about her background and interest in first-person, independent and analogue cinema.

Focus will be on effective strategies for navigating an international film festival circuit that has in recent years increasingly made space for more meaningful engagement with artist and experimental filmmaking practices.
