The Home of Film in Ireland

Irish Film Institute comprises 3 cinemas, IFI CaféBar, IFI Film Shop, along with the national moving image collection held in the IFI Irish Film Archive, IFI Education, IFI National, and IFI International.

The Irish Film Institute is Ireland’s national cultural institution for film. It provides audiences throughout Ireland with access to the finest independent, Irish and international cinema; it preserves and promotes Ireland’s moving image heritage through the IFI Irish Film Archive, and provides opportunities for audiences of all ages and backgrounds to learn and critically engage with film.

The IFI comprises three core activities:

– EXHIBIT

– PRESERVE

– EDUCATE

The IFI operates in Dublin, nationally and internationally.

EXHIBIT

The IFI delivers a challenging and diverse programme of the best of international and Irish film culture through a programme of new releases, curated seasons, festivals and events. The IFI is committed to providing its audience with access to the best of new Irish film, including a number of films that would not otherwise have a theatrical release, and many films that would not otherwise be seen in Ireland.

PRESERVE

The IFI Irish Film Archive acquires, preserves and makes available Ireland’s moving image heritage, working to ensure that Ireland’s rich and varied film history, both amateur and professional, is protected and accessible for the benefit of current and future generations

EDUCATE

IFI Education actively introduces new audiences to film culture and provides young people throughout Ireland with access to challenging and inspiring cinema. This is achieved through an extensive schools programme, both at the IFI and touring nationally, and through a number of innovative programmes aimed at family, youth and life-long learning audiences.

The IFI is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status and is principally funded by the Arts Council.
