Ireland's film body seeks test-screening service to recruit cinema audiences to 'road-test' new movies 

Screen Ireland has funded numerous award-winning films such as 'The Young Offenders'.

Screen Ireland is set to spend €200,000 for test-screening services to give filmmakers “the best opportunity” to “adjust their films as necessary”.

The body, which has funded numerous award-winning films such as The Young Offenders and An Cailín Ciúin, said engagement with audiences was a “vital part” of the filmmaking process and test screening could help identify a film’s strengths and weaknesses before it is finished.
