Join us for IFI Spotlight 2022 as we invite practitioners, journalists and academics to interrogate the previous twelve months of activity in the Irish film and television industry. The day will include a review of the year by Dr Tony Tracy and Dr Roderick Flynn; panel discussions on music and film (hosted by the Screen Composers Guild); Irish language and film (with TG4); D&I policies in the film industry with a focus on the power of casting to effect change; and a keynote address from investigative journalist Malachy Browne of the New York Times video investigations team. IFI Spotlight is Ireland’s only public-facing symposium on the screen industry. IFI Spotlight 2022 is presented as a hybrid in-person/online model, allowing engagement beyond our four walls, with talks livestreamed online throughout the day.
