Film programme
Fear
Curators: Rouzbeh Rashidi and Maximilian Le Cain (Experimental Film Society, IE)
Cinema is fundamentally linked to the ghostly and uncanny. In summoning up insubstantial images that replay moments already passed, it can be compared to séance activity. In showing us sights and sounds of people often long gone but animated by the illusion of movement, it answers to Jean Cocteau’s description of it as ‘death at work’. Experimental film and horror cinema are therefore joined in being the two modes of cinematic practice that best explore the essence and deepest implications of what cinema is. At their most visionary, they overlap extensively. ‘Fear’ is a programme of experimental films that haunt the shadows between experimental film and the horror genre.
