We are inviting submissions of moving image works by artists based in or from the North West of Ireland.

I feel how my eye turns seeks works that resonate with themes of discovery, verifiability, and belief. The title, drawn from a poem by surrealist artist Meret Oppenheim, gestures toward shifting ways of seeing. If your work resonates with this theme, we would love to hear from you.

A selection of submitted films will be screened at the Abbey Arts Centre in Ballyshannon, Donegal on September 12th, 2025, followed by a post-screening Q&A with participating artists. We hope to offer space for conversation and reflection on the breadth of moving image practice in the North West today.

  • €80 for films under 10 minutes

    €100 for films between 10 and 30 minutes

To Apply

We welcome moving image works up to 30 minutes in length, made within the last three years, by artists living in or from the North West of Ireland: Donegal, Derry, Fermanagh, Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo, Cavan, Monaghan, or Roscommon.
