The Irish Film Board/Bord Scannán na hEireann have teamed up with RTÉ2 to announce a series of Saturday night slots of Irish feature film screenings to broadcast on the channel. To mark the new partnership, RTÉ2 will screen the television premiere of the hit film The Hardy Bucks Movie, directed by Mike Cockayne with finance from the IFB, which was released to huge box office success in Irish Cinemas last year. James Hickey, chief executive of the IFB, said this of the partnership, "Irish movies have proved very popular when broadcast on RTE. This partnership underlines RTÉ2's and the IFB's commitment to showcasing the best of Irish talent, ensuring Irish audiences have an opportunity to view a wide range of Irish feature films. I'd also like to take this opportunity to congratulate RTE on the launch of the newly launched RTÉ2".
Other films to look forward to in the series, include the massive hit The Guard, starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle, dark comedy Adam and Paul, and the stunning What Richard Did, both directed by Lenny Abrahamson.
