Luminous Void: Twenty Years of Experimental Film Society marks the twentieth anniversary of the Experimental Film Society — twenty years of personal, formally radical cinema made in complete creative freedom at the margins of film culture and the outer limits of cinematic possibility.
Experimental Film Society is an Irish-based organisation dedicated to the production, archiving and distribution of personal and formally radical cinema. Founded by filmmaker Rouzbeh Rashidi, it is recognised as one of the most distinctive and influential voices in international underground film. EFS films conjure an intimate yet alien vision of the world through an exploratory, experiential approach to filmmaking; in blazing a defiant trail through the landscape of contemporary Irish moving image, the Society has become synonymous with a stubbornly independent mode of operation.
An unlikely group of creative outsiders who came together to challenge the norms and limitations of filmmaking in Ireland and beyond. Filmmakers associated with EFS include Rouzbeh Rashidi, Atoosa Pour Hosseini, Vicky Langan, Maximilian Le Cain, Michael Higgins, Jann Clavadetscher, Shelly Kamiel and Chris O’Neill.
Written by critics, writers, scholars and curators from across the world, the book examines the ideas and impulses that animate EFS, and the practices of many of the filmmakers associated with it — a guidebook to the vast and imposing luminous void of Experimental Film Society cinema.
It includes texts by Adrian Martin, Nadin Mai, Matt Packer, Pluck Projects, Sebastian Wiedemann, Sarah Hayden & Paul Hegarty, Azadeh Jafari, Vahid Mortazavi, Zulfikar Filandra, and leading EFS scholar Nikola Gocić.
This is the printed softcover edition — 170 pages, shipped worldwide from Ireland, with the cost of shipping already included in the price. The book is also available as an eBook (PDF), delivered immediately after purchase.
