Art O’Briain has had a varied career ranging from community arts work in the 1970s, theatre direction work with An Damer, the Abbey and Peacock theatres, the Project Arts Centre, and with Field Day in Derry with the premiere production of Translations by Brian Friel. He worked with RTÉ as a senior producer/director until 1994 and was series producer for the first run of Ros na Rún with TG4.
He founded Moving Still Productions in the early 90's and concentrated on animated series until his move to Connemara in 2003. He directed a series of documentaries in the 'Open Eye Series' and won a Jacobs award for that work.
In recent years he has undertaken a series of intimate personal portraits and "A Subtle Movement of Air" is the third such work in a trilogy of films.
