Crawford Art Gallery in partnership with Triskel Arts Centre presents Artists Film International 2026 (AFI) under the theme A Kind of Power.

Bringing together artists and partner organisations from across the globe, this year's edition explores how systems of power shape the act of looking and the conditions under which we are seen.

This year Crawford Art Gallery has selected artist Thaís Muniz to present her short film The Kite Ballet.

Artists films will be presented from 10:00 - 15:30 (approx. 45 mins) on a loop throughout the day in Triskel, with films changing weekly. See schedule below:
