… – Tuesday 15th Nov 12.00 | Gate Cinema | 75 mins

The sublime nature of Clare Langan’s work fixes us in place in previously 
unimagined ways, while simultaneously opening up our understanding of place and space to an ever-greater range of influences. Clare Langan’s artistic practice spans cinema, video art, and multi-screen installation. She will screen works from Metamorphosis (2007) to Flight from the City (2015).

Aideen Barry: Visual Fictions
 – Wednesday – 16th Nov 12.00 | Gate Cinema | 75 mins

Aideen Barry presents four video works Levitating, Possession, Not to be Known or Named and Enshrine. Her practice incorporates performance, moving image, drawing and sculptural manifestations. Barry’s performative films often involve huge physical and endurance commitments that manifest as visual fictions, meditating on feminist observations and the monstrous female.

This is a free, ticketed event. Attendees are advised to collect tickets well in advance of screenings. Seating is limited allocated on first come first serve basis.
