Line-up Announced for IFI Spotlight 2019
02 May 2019 : News Desk
IFI
The IFI Spotlight, taking place on Thursday, May 30th, is one of the IFI’s key pillars in their mission promote critical engagement with Irish film and television culture.

Now in its seventh year, the IFI Spotlight 2019 presents a day of panel discussions, presentations and interviews gauging the current health of the Irish film and television industry. Filmmakers, funders, exhibitors, distributors and academics join the IFI in reviewing the Irish film and television output of the last 12 months, and look at burning issues facing the industry. The day provides an invaluable tool for considered consumption by students, practitioners and general audiences.

This year’s programme will review the year's film and television output, foreground a discussion on co-production practice, and finish with an end-of-term interview with the outgoing Chief Executive of Screen Ireland James Hickey, hosted by Hugh Linehan of The Irish Times. IFI Spotlight stands as one of the key pillars in IFI’s mission to promote critical engagement with Irish film and television culture.

Commenting on this year's IFI Spotlight programme, IFI Head of Irish Film Programming Sunniva O'Flynn said:

''This annual process of independent review contributes to accountability within the industry while fostering a healthy Irish film culture, an informed production community and a cine-literate audience. IFI Spotlight 2019 delivers on all these fronts."
