 Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) and the Industry Trust for IP Awareness to bring you a very special selection of the best moments from some of the most successful Irish cinema releases in recent years. We are delighted to present this brand new trailer in an exclusive ‘Irish Moments Worth Paying For’ campaign.

Featuring a broad range of ‘moments’ from critically acclaimed Irish films, the trailer thanks audiences for buying a ticket which is integral to supporting the creative talent and the industry that makes these pictures. From the hugely life-affirming Room, to the moving character portrait of A Date for Mad Mary, as well as the hilarity of The Young Offenders, this exclusive trailer which will be rolled out across 40 Irish cinemas.  

The Industry Trust’s consumer education campaign continues to deliver this core message; inspiring audiences to choose the big screen experience. Like the others in the series, the trailer directs audiences to the industry-funded film search engine, LOVEMOVIES.IE which signposts them to legal content sources so they can book, buy and watch at their convenience.

David Burke, Chairman at Industry Trust for IP Awareness said: “Being able to work with Bord Scannán na hÉireann/ the Irish Film Board on this campaign has been an extremely rewarding experience. As a country Ireland has such a rich heritage of storytelling and this selection of moments fills me with great pride in Irish Film.  Our research has concluded that audiences are more likely to support the film industry after watching the trailers that are directly speaking to them. So it’s hugely vital to remember how our cinema ticket supports the 18,000 film and film related jobs in Ireland. We continue to inspire our core audiences with messaging through our trailers.”

James Hickey, Chief Executive, Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board said: Irish film is currently enjoying great success both with local and international audiences.  The film industry has been thriving in Ireland over the last number of years, creating an increasing number of jobs for people working in Ireland and exports for Irish companies bringing inward investment into Ireland. The revenue received from Irish films is an essential part of protecting the livelihoods of all those working in the film and television industry including Irish writers, directors, producers, cast and crew.  Piracy damages the process of revenue being shared with the individuals who create the content and measures aimed at eliminating piracy are important for the wider development and prosperity of the industry"

The Irish Moments Worth Paying For’ trailer launched online today, and in cinemas across the country from Friday July 7th (with special thanks to Wide Eye Media), ensuring the Industry Trust’s messaging targets core infringers not only in the cinema but also across a broad range of platforms, ensuring multiple touch-points for the campaign.
