The Hard Border - View media Over 129 years of moving images from Northern Ireland, featuring amateur and professional films from 1897 to 2026, brought to you by Northern Ireland Screen.

The Digital Film Archive had our 25th birthday party last night. Music, poetry and some very, very good film.
Local filmmaker Colm Laverty is genius at using the archives to amazing effect. This went down a storm at the event.

What happens to RTΓ‰ and BBC NI in the event of a united Ireland? Cross-border experts took a look Researchers explored several potential options – including having RTΓ‰ absorb the structures of BBC Northern Ireland.

I think that RTÉ should continue to exist and that BBC Northern Ireland become BBC Ireland, giving us all access to the iPlayer.
