*Indiegogo campaign launched to publish book on the history of Experimental
Film Society and the ideas that animate it.*

*Experimental Film Society <http://www.experimentalfilmsociety.com/>* (EFS)
is launching an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign to cover the design and
printing expenses of *Luminous Void*, a book-length history of the
Irish-based experimental film collective’s first two decades of activity.

An independent filmmaking collective that produces, screens, promotes, and
archives films by its members, EFS was founded and is run by underground
filmmaker *Rouzbeh Rashidi
<http://www.experimentalfilmsociety.com/member/rouzbeh-rashidi/>*. Rashidi
has spent two years gathering and compiling material for *Luminous Void*, a
series of essays, documents and in-depth interviews with EFS filmmakers.
The content of the book is now almost ready for publication but EFS is
seeking €3500 to cover the design of the book and a print run.

This fully-illustrated volume will include an introductory essay by
curators *Daniel Fitzpatrick* and *Alice Butler* (*AEMI <http://aemi.ie/>*);
an article on EFS cinema by renowned film critic *Adrian Martin
<http://lolajournal.com/>*; an account of the history of EFS and a number
of their manifestos; in-depth interviews with Rashidi and other EFS
members; texts by *Esperanza Collado
<http://www.experimentalfilmsociety.com/member/esperanza-collado/>*
and *Maximilian
Le Cain <http://www.experimentalfilmsociety.com/member/maximilian-le-cain/>*;
and a statement on contemporary alternative cinema by *Daniel Fawcett*
and *Clara
Pais* of *The Underground Film Studio
<http://theundergroundfilmstudio.co.uk/>*, a sister organisation to EFS.
The look and layout of the book will be designed by typographer *Borna
Izadpanah <http://borna.design/>*. The cover will be created by *Pouya
Ahmadi <http://pouyaahmadi.com/>*, a noted graphic designer and former EFS
member.

The work of EFS filmmakers is distinguished by an uncompromising devotion
to personal, experimental cinema. They have in common an exploratory
approach to filmmaking, and their films foreground mood, atmosphere, visual
rhythms, the interplay of sound and picture, and the nature and
subjectivity of the image. These films have been widely screened in
cinemas, festivals and art venues around the world.
