WeAreFNI – The Place for Film

#WeAreFNI

Film Network Ireland is Ireland’s largest independent Film Networking platform.

Film Network Ireland (FNI) was established in 2010 as a support structure and to offer opportunities in the independent Film and Tv sector in Ireland. Fni has grown from a handful of friends in a pub (Remember them?) and a couple of optimistic professionals on a Facebook group to one of Ireland’s most exciting and rapidly growing Film Organisations

FNI meets Lenny Abrahamson

On the 21st of December from 7pm, we were joined by Oscar Nominated Director of “Room”, The incredible “Normal People” “Adam & Paul” “Garage” and some of your favourite Irish Cinema over the last 20 years. The wonderful talent that is Lenny Abrahamson.

WHat people are saying about us

Pete Harris

"FNI is a true community online for filmmakers, offering support and guidance and helping to bolster collaborations. It's a great platform, one that should continue to grow."

Ian Hunt Duffy

"In a post Filmbase Ireland, these guys are the only show in town. A great organisation with great people. A vital tool in nurturing Irish filmmaking talent."

Alan Keane

"FNI is *exactly* what the community of independent film makers needs - truly, it's a resource."

Morgan C Jones

"FNI has been an amazing resource for me over the course of my career - from helping to find likeminded cast and crew on student films to directly employing crew, finding locations and getting endless support on funded projects today. It's quite a rare space where you know there is a network of support and suggestions in an industry that can quite often feel very closed-doors hard to crack. I'm excited to see how the space can grow and expand in future!"
