The Irish Film Archive acquires, preserves and makes available Ireland’s moving image heritage. The collection is broad, aiming to reflect all aspects of indigenous film production, whether professional or amateur. It incorporates fiction, features, public information films, amateur material, documentary, newsreel, experimental film and animation. The Archive maintains a research library covering all aspects of Irish and international cinema and a Paper Collection providing primary research material on the history of Irish film. It organises film screenings courses and lectures. A small number of podcasts related to discussions of Irish cinema are streamed.
