At this year’s Open Day, you’ll have a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and hear all about the progress that’s been made on the Irish Film Archive’s latest project.
The team in the Irish Film Archive have spent 9 months opening boxes of cans, unspooling thousands of rolls of film and uncovering long-forgotten gems from our television history.
Thanks to funding from the BAI Archiving Scheme, we’ve taken the first steps to preserving an enormous collection of classic Irish television ads, dating from the early 1960s right through to the 1980s. Initially acquired in the 1990s, the collection contains material from eight Dublin-based advertising agencies and includes ads from the likes of Calor Kosangas, Aer Lingus, Bolands, Joe Walsh Tours, Guinness, Cadbury’s and many more.
