The Arts Council’s role in film is distinct and is central to the provision of a national infrastructure for film culture in Ireland. Our focus is on supporting film artists and on providing for and developing audiences for cultural cinema. We share responsibility for public policy and support for film with Screen Ireland, which works to develop the Irish film industry, while our role complements the work of RTÉ, TG4 and Comisiún na Meán in the area of television production.
