I feel how my eye turns seeks works that resonate with themes of discovery, verifiability, and belief. They should be up to 30 minutes in length, made within the last three years, and by artists living in or from the North West of Ireland: Donegal, Derry, Fermanagh, Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo, Cavan, Monaghan, or Roscommon. The title, drawn from a poem by surrealist artist Meret Oppenheim, gestures toward shifting ways of seeing. 

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.

Screen Service is a service-oriented collective supporting artists in or from Ireland. Through collaboration and flexible formats, projects are produced that prioritise experimentation, connectivity and artist-led development. 

With a focus on media and interdisciplinary practice, Screen Service works with artists across all disciplines to expand possibilities in critically engaged practice.
