This was followed in late 2016 by the launch of the Creative Ireland programme. The Creative Ireland programme is a hugely important opportunity which places the creative industries at the heart of policy and government. SPI welcomes this initiative, particularly as there is a specific objective to create an industry-wide, long term plan for Ireland as a global hub for the production of Film, TV Drama, and Animation. The creative industries are one of Irelands great strengths. Irish made productions are enjoyed by audiences around the world. They enhance our reputation, provide high value employment and attract tourism to Ireland. The sector is facing many challenges because of increased complexity of the competitive environment. Technology My focus as Chair in 2016 was on the Audio Visual (AV) Sector advancements, changes in audience behaviours, lack of adequate and Organisation strategy, collaboration and connecting with the funding of Public Broadcasting and our national screen agency broader sector and continued development and communication and unfair or antiquated regulation.

An important challenge for SPI is to build a vibrant AV sector with I would like to thank the board of SPI, SPI board sub-committees, a strong voice and influence. all SPI members and the very committed SPI staff for their contribution and commitment to the organisation during 2016. In The policy work also informed other communication strategies addition, I would like to thank outgoing CEO, Barbara Galavan well and papers. In advance of the 2016 General Election SPI initiated in her new endeavours and for her enormous contribution to SPI a ‘message to candidates’ campaign, highlighting the necessary over her six-year term as CEO. I wish the incoming SPI CEO, Elaine infrastructure required to support the audio-visual sector. In Geraghty every success in her new role. August 2016 SPI also issued pre-budget 2017 submission to Government. A response to the ‘Culture 2025’ Report entitled ‘The John Hennessy indigenous producers perspective’ was also submitted to the Joint Chairman Oireachtas Committee on Regional Development Rural Affairs, Arts and the Gaeltacht. SPI also attended the Oireachtas to discuss the Culture 2025 framework. In November SPI was invited to discuss Public Service Broadcasting with the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment along with RTÉ and TG4. The active lobbying in 2016 lead by outgoing CEO, Barbara Galavan, raised the profile of Screen Producers Ireland and continued to establish the organisation as a respected thought leader for the Audio Visual sector. Promoting the cultural and economic value of the Independent production sector at Government level was at the forefront of the lobbying. The research and analysis made an impact as Government listened to and acted upon some of the policy issues. In 2016 the Government committed to an economic analysis study of the audio-visual sector of Ireland as well as a report on the PAGE 4 SCREEN PRODUCERS IRELAND | 2016 ANNUAL REPORT CEO BARBARA GALAVAN of local talent by providing funding for the development and production of Irish films. The funding constraints of Ireland’s Public Service Broadcasters and the National Screen Agency are impediments to growth and are impacting on their ability to fulfil their remit. In 2016 SPI increased awareness of the issues facing the audio visual sector, through its policy campaign initiative and pro-active lobbying. As part of the Culture 2025 consultation I addressed the Oireachtas and advised that the Culture 2025 process provides for the perfect opportunity to foster an all industry approach to developing a strategy for the sector. In late 2016 the Creative Ireland programme was launched. We were pleased to see that this collaborative initiative ‘will facilitate an industry-wide plan to 2016 was another year of steady trading results for the Irish film ensure strategic coherence around the objective of making Ireland and television production sector. a leader in this sector’.

  • Independent Productions Annual Report 2020
    Independent Productions Annual Report 2020 CONTENTS Introduction 2 The Year in Review: – Television 4 – Radio 16 Other Funding 19 Other Support Activities 20 Corporate Governance 20 Financial and Commissioning Review 21 Independent Accountants’ Report 24 Schedules 25 RTÉ INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 1 INTRODUCTION From lockdowns to working from home and remote learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, 2020 was a challenging year for everyone. As audience needs changed and evolved, RTÉ, together with the independent sector, rose to the challenge to ensure that quality Irish content was produced to inform, educate and entertain. From factual to entertainment, lifestyle, cláracha gaelige, drama, comedy and young people’s, the sector responded to unprecedented changes to daily life in Ireland and across the world to produce relevant and distinctive content. Audiences in Ireland connected with Irish content in increasing numbers across all genres, with RTÉ’s all-day share of TV viewing increasing by 1.7% to 27.2%1. RTÉ delivered 43 of the top 50 programmes on Irish television in 2020, with 14 being produced by the independent sector. Independent productions such as Ireland on Call and RTÉ’s Home School Hub played a pivotal role in meeting new audience needs and complemented News & Current Affairs content across TV, online and radio. As well as creating innovative new content and formats to meet these needs, the independent sector demonstrated great agility by adapting production models to comply with public health advice and restrictions. Series such as Ireland’s Fittest Family and Operation Transformation used best-practice production methods to ensure their safe return to screens, while new programming such as Gardening Together with Diarmuid Gavin, No Place Like Home and Open for Business reflected shifts in audience lifestyle and needs during the pandemic.

  • Cry from the Sea
    CRY FROM THE SEA A FILM BY VIC SARIN THE STORY In the aftermath of World War One and the Irish Civil War, Seamus Óg Mac Grianna leads a solitary life, tending to a lighthouse on a picturesque island of Ireland’s coast, whose rocky, sea-battered shores mirror the turmoil inside him. Each morning, Seamus rows out to the spot where his son drowned a decade earlier and visits a graveyard next to the lighthouse. Each night he drinks alone in the pub. His only company is Maire, a spinster who sees to his every need and quietly longs for him. But Seamus is forced out of his routine of isolation when he fnds himself at war with the island’s new priest, who insists Seamus’s late wife should be buried in the consecrated ground of the church cemetery, rather than a private plot next to the lighthouse. As Seamus struggles against pressure from the villagers, he fnds an unexpected ally in Edith, a visiting American war widow whose husband died in the very wreck Seamus’s son was searching for when he drowned. Edith and Seamus bond over their shared grief, much to Maire’s displeasure. As this complicated new relationship gives rise to forgotten feelings and the priest’s eforts to reinter his wife push him to a breaking point, Seamus must leave behind the comfortable sadness of his life and face the risks that come with openness, hope and change. To let his love for the family he lost not lock him inside himself, but radiate outward.

  • Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama
    Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama Ros na Rún 8.30pm Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6/9/16 (omnibus Sunday) The flagship drama series comes of age this season (the 21st) and is one of TG4’s best-loved programmes. It has engaging storylines that bring the leading characters through awkward situations and extreme jeopardy. There are many laughs along the way, the kindling of romance and consequent broken hearts for some but not all. The coming season will continue to delight, excite and engage audiences with cliffhanging drama, deception, deceit, death and of course romance and humour. In its unique natural style, Ros na Rún deals with the many social issues which face rural communities in today’s world and excels in the exposure of such matters with insightful writing and acting. Following on from the end of season showdown in the woods, audiences wait to see the fate of Bobbi Lee and Andy and will be intrigued to find out if he was left for dead. Tadhg, the series lynchpin is seriously threatened this season but will he get away with it, or must he spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder? The season opens with much treachery and drama, and viewers will once again be glued to their seats as the season unfolds and death hits the coastal village, depriving the community of one of its long-time residents. Wakes and weddings are part of rural life and a Christmas wedding could be on the cards bringing the village some much needed romance and happiness. With tales of affairs, theft, controversial pregnancies, break-ins and break-ups viewers will have plenty to guess at and gossip about every Tuesday and Thursday night at 8.30pm on TG4 with the omnibus on Sundays at 10.30pm.
