Once, Just Once, Well Maybe Twice.
a two-part moving image workshop
by Julie Weber
Online, Wednesday, April 24th and Thursday, April 25th, 6-8 pm, 2024
Dear Director (you),
Respond directly to the environment around you, regardless of your location. Combine this with concept-building exercises to create a series of documented happenings, digitally and beyond.
Spend time disrupting filmmaking formats, world-building, expanded storyboard-making, costuming, and examine the act of filmmaking as performance.
At the end, each director will have a set of unique exercises and a one-shot, unedited film thoughtfully and purposefully composed.
Love Julie

Julie Weber is an Irish artist and film director currently researching and working in New York.
Weber examines the concepts of being and becoming, through film and performance works, textiles, and sound compositions. Employing speculative fiction, Weber captures tales of rhythmic behaviours, micro-evolutions and habitual absurdities. With a deep exploration of site, environment and materiality, she creates intricate and textured landscapes, merging hand-made and technological methods to create mutated and self-reflexive forms.
Recent projects include the film launch and screening of ‘The Supremacy of Mathematical Dreaming’ with IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art), Ireland (2023), ‘Fensive’ screening at iidrr gallery, New York (2023), ‘Hek Hek Hoo’ a collaboration with RHA Kids for IPUT’s Living Canvas , RHA (Royal Hibernian Academy) (2023) and Screenings at Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg (2023). She is the recipient of the Visual Artist Project Award (2024) from the Arts Council, Multimedia Artist in Residence at Dublin City University (2022) and recipient of the Agility Award from the Arts Council (2021). A lecturer in Moving Image, across Design and Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design (2023), Weber has a postgraduate degree in Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship from Trinity College Dublin (2021) and an MFA in Digital Art from NCAD, Dublin (2019).
Hello_World! was a 2024 online workshop programme led by three artists identified through an open call. The artists embraced novel and creative perspectives on the digital workshop format. They each hosted a two-part evening workshop that engaged with themes of interaction, performance, and participation, treating the workshop as a medium and artwork in itself.
