22 Mar 2017 : Katie McNeice
The annual event held at the Irish Film Institute dedicates itself to reviewing the past twelve months in Irish film and television and considering current trends in production, distribution and consumption of new work.

The 2017 instalment will be chaired by by Professor Margaret Kelleher, Chair of Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama at UCD and Chair of IFI.

In addition to a rigorous academic review of film and TV output in 2016, other areas of discussion will include: a catch-up on IFB and BAI gender equity initiatives introduced in 2015; a panel investigating media piracy; a panel looking behind the scenes of advertising in Ireland and the role of Irish filmmakers within that industry; and a return to ‘In the Pipeline’ which offers audiences a sneak preview of forthcoming Irish titles.

The Irish Film Institute:
“An annual process of considered reflection and review is essential for the development of a healthy Irish media culture, an informed production community and a cine-literate audience body.”

The panel will celebrate the talent of Irish ad-makers; explore the influence of advertising on Irish filmmaking aesthetics, budgets, pitching and economy of storytelling; and will look at women in advertising – their roles and their representation.
