Reel Ireland is a touring package of Irish films curated by the Irish
Film Archive of The Irish Film Institute, to promote our film culture
overseas. This initiative is supported by Culture Ireland. This inaugural
programme comprises seven contemporary feature films and two classic
titles recently restored by the Irish Film Archive and affords venues
all over the world an exciting opportunity to experience a broad range
of Irish moving image. The Irish Film Institute makes no charge for
facilitating the screening of these films at festivals and cultural
events all over the world. ** They will
also make available supporting publicity material, secure copyright
clearance and help to arrange guest speakers.
** Please note, however, that there may
be associated external costs. (E.g. Distributors may impose screening
fees from time to time/ transportation costs).
