aemi & Docs Ireland: Voice Recognition + Q&A 
Each year aemi presents a programme of moving image work by artists and experimental filmmakers at Docs Ireland, aiming to call attention to the diverse ways artists and experimental filmmakers are continuing to deftly expand, enrich and challenge the conventions of the documentary form.
In this programme of remarkable new work from artists Jenny Brady (Ireland), Miryam Charles (Haiti-Canada), Dan Guthrie (UK), Jacqueline Holt (UK/Northern Ireland) and Sofia Theodore-Pierce (USA), ideas around voice and lineage are explored through connections to the body or instances of disembodiment.
While experiences of disempowerment permeate the works gathered here, they are enacted as loving dedications or expressions of gratitude for those who have made or shaped us.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with artists from the programme.
