ARC is supporting a programme of discussions and lectures as part of the 2017 PLASTIK festival, 24-26 March 2017. PLASTIK is a unique platform for the engagement and appreciation of artists’ moving image in Ireland. The festival offers an innovative, accessible and creative platform for the presentation of artists’ film and video, with a focus on discursive events and the cinema as exhibition space. Developed in collaboration with LUX London, PLASTIK is presented in partnership with the Irish Film Institute, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios and IADT Dublin, and is made possible through the generous support of the Arts Council.
