IRISH FILM 2015 / PRODUCTION CATALOGUE WWW.THISISIRISHFILM.IE WWW.IRISHFILMBOARD.IE CHAIRMAN’S NOTE I am delighted that my first full year as Chairman of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) has been one of growth and continued success for Irish creative talent and for the Irish film, television and animation industry. With the support of the IFB, the hard work and creative endeavours of Irish talent in front and behind the camera has been rewarded with both local and international recognition and awards. As the development agency for film, television and animation in Ireland, the IFB is committed to supporting Irish talent, creativity and enterprise. In conjunction with the Irish Government’s continued support for the industry with the advent of the new film and television tax credit in 2015, the Board are focused on the future evolution of Board Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board. With this in mind, we have begun the consultation process on a new Five Year Strategic Plan for the agency, which will focus on the future goals for the agency itself, the development of the industry overall and the outcomes the IFB aims to deliver for Irish creative talent, Irish and international audiences and the Irish digital economy. With the publication of the new strategy document in 2015, we hope to ensure that the IFB continues to provide a strong foundation for the making of film, television and animation in Ireland.
