Welcome to the Irish Artists' Film Index (formerly the MExIndex).
This is the national database of Irish artists' moving image and experimental works. An online searchable database and a resource for curators, writers, and artists. The works are classified as Irish either because their creator is Irish or the work relates to Irish culture and society. on the public website the works shown 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.
