CineSalon Experimental Film Festival takes place in Cork City, Ireland and online.
It celebrates personal, poetic and formally experimental filmmaking from across the world, providing a non-competitive platform for film artists to share and discuss their work with adventurous audiences in a relaxed atmosphere. Curated by filmmakers, this defiantly independent festival exists to showcase the wild reeds of visionary film that ignore accepted cinematic paradigms and are all the more inspiring for it.
CineSalon welcomes short film submissions from experimental filmmakers and artists everywhere. A programme of selected shorts screened in-person during the first edition of the festival and an additional series of shorts programmes streamed online between September 14th and September 27th 2024.
CineSalon also features a long-form screening, live events, featured artist programmes and masterclasses.
CineSalon Experimental Film Festival grew out of CineSalon, a quarterly experimental film screening event that has taken place at The Guesthouse Project, Cork since June 2023.
