Welcome to the Irish Artists' Film Index (formerly the MExIndex).
This is the national database of Irish artists moving image and experimental works. It is a resource for curators, writers, and artists. An online searchable database of experimental moving image works. These are classified as Irish either because their creator is Irish or the work relates to Irish culture and society. The works discribed in the public website have been selected by invited curators from an underlying database for works they consider of particular relevance and merit. This process of selection takes place on a regular basis, allowing the website to continually expand its offering of information on Irish-based works.
