The Cork Film Festival has announced details of an extensive partnership with RTÉ, the national public service broadcaster of Ireland, as it marks its 60th anniversary this year.

 

As principal partner, RTÉ will work with the festival to raise its profile across RTÉ platforms via the RTÉ Supporting the Arts scheme. Utilising RTÉ’s significant social footprint, the festival will be promoted across RTÉ’s key social platforms, while RTÉ’s central brand and creative team will assist with developing the overall festival footprint.

 

Speaking about the announcement of the RTÉ partnership, Noel Curran, Director-General, said: “RTÉ is delighted to partner with the Cork Film Festival for its 60th anniversary. RTÉ’s presence in Cork is significant and this association is a real expression of our commitment to the city and region. Throughout the years, the festival has brought a host of stars and filmmaking talent to the city and has become far more than a straightforward film festival. RTÉ looks forward to working with the festival on making this year one of the very best in its history.”

 

James Mullighan, Creative Director of the Cork Film Festival added: “I am thrilled to be making this announcement today, which comes after two thoroughly enjoyable and productive years of collaboration with RTÉ. Having access to RTÉ's many powerful and various communications platforms will turbo charge the Festival in the year of its 60th edition. We have some very exciting plans afoot for the anniversary, and with the announcement of the RTÉ partnership, we are confident that it will be the very best year in its history."
