Hosting a Screening

Mary in Liberty Hall in 1980

After five long and winding years in production, MRS ROBINSON made its world premiere at the 2024 Galway Film Fleadh.

The journey to the screen involved a team of over 30 talented colleagues, all whom made difficult sacrifices to pursue their passion of working as storytellers.

Blind leaps of faith, the investment of countless hours without payment, early mornings, late nights and long weekends.

This is the sweat equity involved for the creatives behind the production of any independent film. And when it is all done, we set out again – with a blank piece of paper and the seed of an idea – to try and do it all over again.

Mary Robinson Inauguration 1990

We are interested in hearing from anyone who is interested in bringing the inspirational story of Mary Robinson to new audiences.

We have laid out some pointers below that we hope will be useful as we explore a collaboration:

To help the film reach the widest audience, the filmmaking team has assigned rights in different territories to expert partners, including impact producers, distributors and sales agents.

These partners play a crucial role in the ecosystem of telling stories with purpose, and their survival (just like filmmakers) depends on the successful exploitation of the films in which they invest.

In many cases, permission to host a screening of MRS ROBINSON must be obtained from these partners and may involve a screening access-fee.

Granting permission to use excerpts from the film can be complicated. A dedicated team of archive specialists spent a number of years, and hundreds of thousands of euro, copyright-clearing all of the material that is contained in the film. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the filmmakers have the right to allow others to use the same clips in different contexts.

The due diligence, clearance, retrieval and delivery of clips demands the resources and time of a professional who might otherwise be investing efforts in making their next film.

We are happy to provide a costing for the legwork involved, as well as a costing for the use of any clips that are within our power to sub-license.
