Off the back of a blockbuster summer, the cinema industry in Ireland has united to celebrate the ritual of cinemagoing and the important place it has in Irish life. For many years, Ireland has had the highest cinema attendance per capita in Europe *. What better way to celebrate that than to come to the cinema and enjoy a movie on National Cinema Day.

With her latest film Joyride in cinemas now, director Emer Reynolds is a fan of the initiative:

There’s nothing quite like the magic of cinema; experiencing the shared waves of emotion; laughing and crying in the dark among strangers!  It’s one of life’s great joys!  I can’t wait to celebrate National Cinema Day in my local cinema, revelling in the epic power and beauty of the Big Screen!”

Mark Anderson, Director of Omniplex Cinemas has also lauded the initative:
