IRISH FOCUS: A VISUAL STORM

Director: Sinéad Walsh

64 mins, Ireland/Italy, 2025, Digital, F-Rated


Telling the untold story of Italian Aurelio Caminati (1922 – 2012), an avantgarde, resistance artist whose radical and uncompromising vision lead to his work being largely unrecognized outside the Genoa and Linguria region. Caminati spent 13 summers at the Cill Rialaig Artist Retreat in Co. Kerry, where he was inspired by Irish storytelling traditions and the elemental forces of nature evident in his expressionist paintings of the stormy Atlantic and wild Irish landscapes.

Sinéad Walsh’s film interweaves powerful landscape imagery with archive footage, performance and interviews with the artist, his peers and critics.

Followed by a Q&A with Sinéad Walsh hosted by art historian Catherine Marshall.
