FILMS DISTRIBUTION

In Ireland there are lots of film distribution companies. A few of these are:
E1 Entertainment,  Network Ireland Television, Paramount Pictures, Irish Film Board (Bord Scannán na hEireánn) and Warner Bros.
I have to look into all of these and more and decide which film distribution company I would like to distribute our film.
Entertainment One (eOne) is an international distribution company based in Canada. It was founded in 1973 as a music distribution company but since then has expanded to distribute films, music and television. Some of the films distributed by eOne are  Incidious, Eye in the Sky, Just getting Started and The Woman in Black.

Network Ireland Television is the premiere international distributor of short films and specialist TV content for broadcast. Founded in 1995, the Network Ireland Television is usually involved with niche market films, specifically short films, and their distribution.







Paramount Pictures Corporation is an American film studio based in Hollywood, California, that has been a subsidiary of the American media conglomerate Viacom since 1994. 
It is the world's fifth oldest surviving studio. 
Some of the films that have been distributed by Paramount Pictures are Shrek, Titanic, Indiana Jones (2008), Transformers, Kung Fu Panda and Forrest Gump. 

The Irish Film Board is Ireland's national film agency and the major funding board. Founded in 1980, the IFB is based in Galway. One of the IFB's most recent films distributed was Young Offenders which is so funny. Others include Once, Song of the Sea and The Guard. The IFB distributes a lot of shorts as well, including New Boy and Frankie. 




Warner Bros. Pictures is an American entertainment company which has its headquarters in California. It was founded by 4 brothers originally from Poland. They are an international distribution company so have so many films but some of them are Wonder Woman, Justice League, Batman vs Superman, Suicide Squad, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and the Matrix. 





After researching all of these film distribution companies I have decided to choose Network Ireland Television, due to its affiliation with short, local films usually catered to a niche market. The NIT distributed the Oscar Nominated short film The Silent Child recently.
This powerful and poignant film centres round a profoundly deaf four-year-old girl called Libby, who is born into a middle class family and lives in a world of silence, until a caring social worker teaches her the gift of communication.
