Solus is an independent film collective and platform
for film-makers working in Super-8mm / 16mm and DV. It has the
dual aim of showing Irish short and avant-garde films abroad and
international short and avant-garde films in Ireland. We curate
programmes which screen with international partners and collaborators
on an ongoing basis.
