Another event which will be taking place over this period is the New Irish Cinema: Day of Debate on the 12th April.
‘New Irish Cinema in Dublin 1993-2003’ takes place in the Irish Film Centre and Cinemobile from April 5- 17. This is an exciting and unique opportunity for audiences to see all of the feature films that have been funded by the Film Board over the last 10 years. This season is presented in collaboration with the Film Institute of Ireland, and includes screenings of 76 Irish feature films to take place over 13 days in two venues - the Irish Film Centre in Temple Bar and the Cinemobile, Ireland’s state-of-the-art mobile cinema which will be located in the grounds of Dublin Castle. Among the titles are award-winning films Bloody Sunday, The Magdalene Sisters and Dancing at Lughnasa. The full programme of screenings for this exciting event is available in the current IFC programme, and a separate special programme to mark the season is also now available.
Following the success of New Irish Cinema featuring at the Dublin Film Festival, where a new Irish film by an Irish director featured on seven of the eight nights of the festival, the Irish Film Board looks forward to an enriched future.
Chief executive of the Irish Film Board Rod Stoneman said, “It has always been the Board’s aim to encourage the creation of many different forms of Irish cinema. This 10th Anniversary gives Irish audiences the chance to see the diverse range of feature films made over the past decade. We hope they are entertained and involved by them and that they will look forward to more films which reflect all aspects of the culture of this island."
