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.
