About the IFI

The Irish Film Institute is Ireland’s national cultural institution for film. At the IFI’s historic home in Eustace Street, Temple Bar, our diverse audiences, and loyal members enjoy our 3 cinemas, IFI Irish Film Archive’s research and access facilities, IFI Film Shop and IFI Café Bar; and our four digital streaming platforms, IFI@Home, IFI Archive Player, IFI@Schools and IFI International. The IFI has developed strategic objectives around three core activities:

EXHIBIT: Providing audiences throughout Ireland with access to the finest independent, Irish, and international cinema.
PRESERVE: Preserving and promoting Ireland’s moving image heritage through the IFI Irish Film Archive
EDUCATE: Providing opportunities for audiences of all ages and backgrounds to learn and critically engage with film through IFI Education

Being part of the IFI means an opportunity to be dynamic, creative, and part of a community that is passionate about what they do and values mutual trust and respect. Our values reflect what is important to us at the IFI. They guide our efforts, define our culture, and shape the way we approach our core activities – Exhibit, Preserve and Educate.
