Stolen Sealskin is a solo exhibition by Sarah Lou Kinneen, recipient of the Parallax Emerging Film Artist Bursary 2025, a collaboration between CIFF, National Sculpture Factory and Sample-Studios to champion emerging film artists and moving image work.

Stolen Sealskin reimagines the enduring Selkie legend through an immersive installation that drifts between myth and memory. The legend follows a shapeshifting seal-woman who becomes bound to land and severed from sea when her sealskin is stolen. Through moving image, sculpture and sound, Stolen Sealskin navigates autonomy, coercion, and biopolitics, drawing from folklore and cultural memory.
