Helena Gouveia Monteiro is an experimental filmmaker and visual artist from Portugal, currently living in Dublin. She manages Dubh Film Lab in Dublin, and is a member of L’Abominable/Navire Argo and Filmwerkplaats. Her new film Laoi Shuibhne|Sweeney’s Lay is currently in production with the support of the film project award from the Arts Council of Ireland.
At Belfast Film Festival, we are screening some of her recent works, showing the range of her analogue and digital experimentation and her ongoing interest in materiality and the sensory possibilities of film.
16mm film workshop and screening in collaboration with Association Braquage, with films by Moira Tierney & Masha Godovannaya, Sébastien Ronceray, Henri Storck, Helena Gouveia Monteiro, Stan Brakhage, Cécile Fontaine, and Collective Ø.
The exhibition ends meet brings a new commissioned film of the same title together with a set of five camera-less photographic prints. Both depict cloud formations represented within an impossible object, simultaneously analog and digital, still and moving, and cite the private correspondence between Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz.
