Irish Film Centre : The Film Institute of Ireland works to broaden the range of films available to Irish audiences by presenting a continuous programme of new releases, retrospectives, festivals, and special events in the Irish Film Centre Cinemas in Dublin . In particular, the programme concentrates on significant films which are unlikely to receive commercial distribution in Ireland. It reflects a full range of world cinema, with particular commitments to European cinema and to Irish film-making. It has a bar which is Dublin's liveliest and most popular meeting places.
