Film Library

GFD film library is where our company started back in 1958 distributing 16mm products from RKO, United Artists, Paramount Universal and other major film makers to the school and college market. This also took place in hotels private homes clubs parish halls up and down the country. In 1983 the coming of video was the death knell to this market yet it still continues to survive with Film Societies and University showings and some club party showings.

With the market moving to video it was a natural progression for us to go this route as well and today we handle the group viewing market in Ireland for all the major film distributors such as UIP, Columbia Tristar, Disney Buena-Vista, Touchstone, Fox Warner, Rank, First Independent, Guild, etc.

In the main our products are available shortly after or sometimes concurrently with cinema releases depending on the distribution arrangements which gives us a window before "HOME USE" release to the general public.

With the emergence of better and brighter Video Projectors we can now offer Schools and Clubs a Video projection service complete with the necessary sound equipment together with operators if required to set up and run their showings with the latest cinema releases.
