Out of Focus emerged from the initiative of Kilkenny-based artists Juana Robles and Michael Higgins, aiming to showcase alternative cinema works often overlooked by conventional cinemas and mainstream avenues. This initiative strives to create a platform for artists, providing them with the opportunity to exhibit their work in a large, professional cinema setting.
The first series of screenings will take place on three Wednesdays this September at the Watergate Theatre in Kilkenny, each starting at 7:30 PM. During these screenings, Out of Focus will present a collection of works by Irish or Ireland-based artists producing experimental, innovative, and unconventional films and videos that blur the line between visual art and cinema.
Each screening will focus on a specific theme, showcasing both old and new productions, including short and feature films. Following each screening, there will be moderated discussions with the filmmakers in attendance, offering a unique insight into their creative processes.
Smiley Wiley and SMOLT will screen 4th Sept.
