    April 2024

    March was a huge month with St Patrick's Day and the Oscars and now we're looking forward to what April has in store! We have a recap of the Oscar winners and the Irish Oscars (aka the IFTA Awards) have announced their nominations. We also have the last of the IFF23 Q&As on Youtube and there are some new Irish shows and movies available to steam. You can also find a Hollywood Reporter article on Why Ireland Is Thriving as a Film Hub which is worth a read.
