Crawford Art Gallery present’s Artists’ Film International 2025 (AFI) under the theme of Dream States. Exploring dreaming as both a transformative state and a radical act, the films challenge perceptions of reality and open pathways to alternative futures. Curated by sixteen cultural institutions across four continents, this year’s edition showcases a remarkable cohort of artists and features Irish artist Elinor O’Donovan’s short film Wild Geese 2: Wilder Geese (2023). The sixteen films will be shown across the three weeks on three separate nights.
