Bloomsday Film Festival 2025 will feature Film Album no.2, a 7-part experimental film project by Irish filmmaker Arran Tenzin Bradstock.
Film Album no.2 will screen as part of the festival’s ‘Experimental Shorts’ programme on Saturday, 14th June at 3pm in Belvedere House, Dublin 1. For the full programme and to book tickets, visit this link. This experimental film project is as a follow up to Film Album no.1 (2020), taking the the idea of an album of music and swapping music tracks for short films. It is made up of seven independently-made pieces which can be watched as separate films or presented together as one sequence in a randomised order.
