CineSalon Experimental Film Festival 2024 will feature a screening of 7 films by Arran Tenzin Bradstock, followed by a discussion with the filmmaker. Arran is a filmmaker and musician from Cork whose experimental approaches to filmmaking treat sounds and images as independent equals, and embrace unknowable results through randomised processes and improvisation. The resulting works are immersive and hypnotic, evoking surprisingly dreamlike states through their visually intense collaging of details of reality.

•When: 5.15pm, Saturday 14th Septrmber

Arran Tenzin Bradstock began making films at age 9 and has since produced over 40 short films. Inspired by the field of experimental music, over the years he has moved away from his narrative filmmaking beginnings. His current work invites the viewer-listener to explore abstract audiovisual worlds defined in equal parts by their chaotic intensity and meditative sense of immersion. After studying Film & Television Production at St John’s Central College, Cork, Arran completed an MA in Experimental Sound Practice at University College Cork. He is now in the final stages of a creative practice-based PhD, where his focus has been developing his experimental filmmaking practice and philosophy. Since 2018, Arran has also been releasing music under the name Don’t Think, the sound revolving around a mix of hypnotic drones, deep ambient passages, and harsh noisescapes.
