Celebrating Ireland and the Irish on Screen

Increasingly filmmakers from Ireland and the Irish diaspora are turning to the visual media arts to express themselves and their culture. Within the last ten years alone Irish cinema has emerged as a dynamic global phenomenon, expressing a culture focused on the island of Ireland but spread out to all four corners of the globe.  Encompassing a near-limitless array of experiences and aspirations, Irish filmmakers from around the world challenge traditional notions of Irishness and force us to expand our understandings of what it means to be Irish in the 21st century.

BIFF Productions was set up to celebrate and promote the global Irish cinema. It provides exhibition, distribution, and educational opportunities for filmmakers; honors their work with awards; and produces original documentaries on contemporary Irish cinema. The organization’s mission is:

• To continue to administer the Irish Film Festival on an annual basis, with additional screenings throughout the year
• To organize educational events for audiences and filmmakers in the Boston area
• To provide distribution consultation for Irish filmmakers entering the American market, and American filmmakers entering Irish and European markets
• To produce and distribute originally documentary films on Irish cinema

BIFF Productions, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductable.
