Last week, the Film Ireland team were delighted to partner with DBS School of Arts in hosting a busy event at the DEAN Arts Studios in Dublin 2, marking the launch of the Film Ireland Digital Archive Project. The evening was a resounding success, bringing together our friends, film students, film enthusiasts, industry professionals, and supporters to celebrate the origins of the former print film publication.
Supported by Coimisiún na Meán, the Film Ireland Team has curated a very special training programme to support the voices of the next generation reporting on the world of digital media.
