WHY IS THE IFI SCREENING WOODY ALLEN MOVIES?

There's a cinema in Temple Bar called the Irish Film Institute. It screens various titles such as subtitled and Irish films. However, it is currently screening most of Woody Allen's films. What's that about? Here's one of the most overrated directors getting the full treatment by having his back catalogue shown. In a country where you can rent Woody Allen movies from your local video library it's strange that these films have to get a public screening? It's called the IRISH Film Institute for a reason! Of course every major director has a rare movie which is not easily available on DVD. So is the IFI screening Take the money and run? Of course not. As football manager Brian Clough used to say: good lad!
