I wish to congratulate Dan\u00fa Media on the latest feature film \u2018B\u00e1ite\u2019 from the Cine4 scheme. B\u00e1ite and each of the eight Cine4 films to date have brought new Irish creative storytelling as well as awareness and appreciation of the Irish language.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>D\u00e9sir\u00e9e Finnegan, Chief Executive of F\u00eds \u00c9ireann\/Screen Ireland<\/strong>, said: <em>&#8220;The Cine4 initiative has been a source of immense pride for Screen Ireland, and its cultural impact to date has been remarkable. Screen Ireland&#8217;s commitment to developing Irish language cinema continues, with a range of investments and supports across both film and television. We are delighted to have supported B\u00e1ite alongside our partners TG4 and Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n, and would like to congratulate the creative team behind the film on its World Premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh this year.&#8221; <\/em><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Siobh\u00e1n N\u00ed Ghadhra, Producer, Dan\u00fa Media<\/strong> adds that <em>\u201cbringing B\u00e1ite to the screen has been a true labour of love.

We\u2019re delighted to premiere the film in Galway, where much of the energy and creativity behind it was born.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nToday\u2019s special launch also marked the 20th anniversary of Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n\u2019s Sound &#038; Vision Scheme, which continues to champion Irish-language and culturally significant audiovisual content.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Aoife MacEvilly,\u202fBroadcasting and Video-on-Demand Commissioner, Coimisi\u00fan na Me\u00e1n<\/strong> said <em>\u201cBaite is a standout example of what the Cine4 scheme was designed to do &#8211; to support the development and production of powerful, culturally rich, homegrown Irish language drama that will be enjoyed by audiences.
