🎬 Two August events in Dublin
This August, Rouzbeh Rashidi brings two special events to Dublin on consecutive dates.
1. Experimental and Personal Filmmaking — Five-Day Intensive Masterclass
📍 Dublin
📅 17–21 August 2026
🕙 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. daily
Organised by EFS Film School, this five-day intensive masterclass offers an immersive exploration of experimental cinema as a personal, poetic, and philosophically grounded practice. Through lectures, screenings, discussions, readings, and collaborative work, participants will engage with form, sound, image, and radical audiovisual expression.
This is not a conventional filmmaking course, but a space for filmmakers, artists, and moving-image practitioners seeking a deeper and freer approach to cinema.
⚠️ Places are limited — early registration is strongly encouraged.

Featuring selected excerpts from eleven feature-length works made between 2009 and 2019, the programme offers a rare insight into the artistic, philosophical, and methodological foundations of his practice, followed by an extended audience Q&A.

W dniach 16-18 kwietnia będę przebywać na krótkim wyjeździe w Warszawie.
Po latach korespondencji i rozmów, spotkam się osobiście z Rouzbehem Rashidim - wybitnym artystą o pochodzeniu irańskim, reprezentującym współczesny film eksperymentalny. W 2018 roku miałem zaszczyt zaprezentować w Poznaniu zestaw czterech jego filmów krótkometrażowych. Projekcja odbyła się w Domu Spotkań (dawna siedziba redakcji pisma "Miasteczko Poznań"). Były to: "Strand", "Harmony with you", "Anatomy of a Man" i "Emptiness".
Gdy jedna z moich znajomych onegdaj zamieściła na Facebooku post o tym twórcy i dzięki temu zainteresowałem się jego dorobkiem, to poczułem, jakby otworzył się przede mną portal do najbardziej wyrafinowanej sztuki współczesnej, o której mi się przez lata marzyło, gdy jeszcze studiowałem filmoznawstwo. Byłem przekonany, co robił wówczas Rouzbeh Rashidi, w pewnej mierze definiowało i wyznaczało drogę dla współczesnego filmu eksperymentalnego.
W linku pod tym postem dołączam odsyłasz do mojego artykułu o Rashidim, który ukazał się w 2019 roku w piśmie "Art. Luk".

The Homo Sapiens Project has always existed for me as a private laboratory of cinema 🎞️: a space in which film could move freely as fragment, note, disturbance, memory, and experiment. These works were not made with the ordinary logic of reception in mind. In many ways, they were made for nobody, or perhaps for an audience still to come. They seemed to belong elsewhere—buried in the subconscious of cinema, and in my own subconscious life as a maker 🌑
And yet, against that impulse toward concealment, they continue to return. They keep surfacing into the present, almost against my will. I have come to value that tension very deeply: the sense that these films resist visibility, resist consumption, and yet refuse disappearance 👁️🕯️
The complete Homo Sapiens Project collection—21 volumes comprising 201 works—is now available worldwide on video on demand at a reduced price 🌍✨
