25 years of Irish Film – through Film Ireland covers

The magazine for Irish film buffs is a quarter of a century in the business…

FILM IRELAND – Ireland’s longest-publishing film magazine – is celebrating a quarter of a century in business this year.

For an oversight of the film industry in Ireland, its successes and challenges over the past 25 years, it’s hard to find a better chronicler than the publication which started life as Filmbase News in May 1987. That name refers to the fact that it is published by Filmbase, a not-for-profit resource centre for filmmakers in Dublin’s Temple Bar.

Film Ireland has kindly provided us with a selection of covers from its issues through the years – you may recognise a landmark Irish movie or two in there. For a more indepth search of their archive, click here.

Latest Irish film news is also available on filmireland.net and the latest edition of Film Ireland is available to buy from Filmbase on Curved Street, Dublin and at major newsagents. You can also subscribe on a special offer for one year here.
