Galway's history will be shown along with newly shot Super8 film Kaunas footage as part of "Exquisite Corpse“: a collaboration with Kaunas 2022 capital of culture.
"Exquisite Corpse" is the fruit of Julien Dorgere (Super8 Ireland ), Emilija Jefremova (EMJ Camera ) and Artist Aideen Barry (commissioned by Kaunas ). Online Super8 Film workshops with Kaunas based artists and aspiring filmmakers culminated in a collaborative film project that was edited for this live streaming event.
This complimentary Film Project also partners with Aideen Barry’s own Kaunas 2022 project, who is making an Art Film in Lithuania on Modernism and hidden histories entitled : Klostes Folds /Pleats.
This unique combination of footage from two European Capitals of Culture promises to be an event not to be missed.
Make sure to tune in at 7pm!
