FRONTLINE
Not just a crap Irish movie but also a TV show where this week they discussed public funding of the Arts. Of course Irish cinema got few mentions because we have no true artists working in that area. But an interesting point got made: why isn't the private sector funding the Arts more? Organisations like Ryanair could fund the Arts instead of taxpayers? Why is the Government funding the Arts (including film)? Surely, our filmmakers should get more private funds to make their 'masterpieces' instead of crawling to the Film Board?
