The enhanced visibility of South Asian culture in the Irish context is testimony to on the one hand, the global expansion of Hindi cinema, and on the other, to the demographic expansion of the South Asian community in Ireland during the last decade.

  • Appendix 1 IFI International Report on 2013
    Appendix 1 IFI International Report on 2013 1. Introduction IFI International works globally to present Irish cinema in cultural contexts. Most notable in a review of 2013 was the opportunity to find new exhibition partners in the UK and on the European mainland. Traditionally the greatest level of interest in Irish film programming has come from North America and other centres of Irish diaspora. It has been difficult to establish a presence for IFI International in mainland Europe particularly in non-Anglophone countries. The increased attention paid to Ireland during the EU Presidency and the support of Culture Ireland allowed us to consolidate existing partnerships, and more importantly to create new ones, with prestige partners in major European cities. The opportunity to work with colleagues in cinematheques and archives (many of them FIAF partners) guaranteed that the work would be presented to an engaged and invested audience of film enthusiasts, who while very cinema literate, may not have heretofore been familiar with the breadth of Irish film. The impact of the EU Presidency events have led to new partners in Spain, France, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Athens and Portugal. IFI International facilitated 64 distinct EU Presidency events plus 107 IFI International events in 50 countries including Australia, the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Tanzania, Canada, Russia, South Korea and India. 2. Highlights - New Partners Culture Connects : Irish Film Programmes for the EU Presidency (January – June 2013) In the period of Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of Europe IFI International hosted an unprecedented range of Irish film events as part of Culture Connects - the International Culture Programme for Ireland´s EU Presidency.
