Dublin International Film Festival

We’ve been nominated in the The Irish Sponsorship Awards and we're a finalist in TWO categories 🎉 🙌 : Best Entertainment & Event Sponsorship + Innovation in Sponsorship.   This recognition is for our incredible collaboration with our new Premium Partner #Tanqueray 0.0% (Diageo)   As a partnership, we worked hard to put audience and artist first, and launched the 'Tanqueray 0.0% Film Club': an unmissable series of filmmaker conversations. Our first guests included 🏆 Oscar winner Steve McQueen, 🧝♂️ Actor Hugo Weaving, 🎬 Producer extraordinaire Trudie Styler (Lock Stock, Snatch), and 🎉 Irish Actress, writer and Tanqueray Brand Ambassador @Amy Huberman.   We’re so proud to get this nomination in our first year of the new partnership. Congrats to all the other finalists, and we’ll see you in September for the big night. And a massive thanks to PHD media and Lauren Kavanagh who’ve championed and supported this collaboration from Day 1.

Last week we got the 'Handsome Devil' family back together! 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 We welcomed Director John Butler, Fionn O'Shea, Mark Doherty, Mark Lavery, Clinton Liberty and Amy Huberman to the Light House Cinema for a very special screening. This incredible film premiered at #DIFF in 2017, and seven years on it's still as relevant, tender and "impossible to resist". The gathering was part of our ongoing series of unmissable events as part of the 🎬 #Tanqueray 0.0% Film Club🍸 Great conversation, thought provoking questions, and an insight into Fionn's attempts to grow his hair (using gravity 🤷♂️) for the role... Its great to bring audiences and artists together outside of the annual festival. We're doing it much more often now 💁♀️📆 so keep on eye our socials! Big shout out to Treasure Entertainment for making it all possible!
