. Commenting on the event, Rod Stoneman, chief executive of the IFB said: “It has always been the Board’s aim to encourage the creation of many different forms of Irish cinema. This 10th anniversary gives Irish audiences the chance to see the diverse range of feature films made over the last decade. We hope they are entertained and involved by them and that they will look forward to more films which will reflect aspects of the culture of this island”.
