Working Out How Much My Deposit Will Be
A 50% deposit is required on all bookings.The balance for the outdoor screening will be due BEFORE the screening takes place. No Balance. No Screening. No Exceptions.
To work out what deposit is due just do the following.
1. Look at the map of Ireland above and check your delivery area
3. Decide which screen you want to hire and check the rate. Add the the hire rate and the delivery rate together and divide by two. This will be the deposit amount required to make the booking
For Example:
Booking the 20X15 screen for a weekend screening €800
Screening is to take place in Louth, delivery therefore is €30
€800 + €30 = €830 divided by 2 = €415. This is the deposit required to secure the booking
Deposits are non refundable except in circumstances where a cancellation is required due to bad weather
You need a licence to screen a film in public either indoors or outdoors. It doesn't matter if you are trying to raise funds or the event is for charity you must pay the appropriate licence fee.
Sunset Times
It's really important to note that in order to run a successful outdoor screening you must have dusk or darkness. A screening in daylight is just not possible, even with our most powerful cinema projectors. For an outdoor screening during day light hours you would need to use an LED screen. These screens are extremely expensive to hire but if you do have the funds to hire an LED screen (they can be up to €2,000 a day), we highly recommend a company called Mongeys. You can visit their website here
In order for you to find out what time you can screen on the date you have in mind you should visit this website. When you visit this website use the tabs to select the month you want to screen. Down the left hand side of the screen you will see the dates for that particular month. On the columns on the top of the chart you want to look for the column marked Nautical Twilight End. This is the time that you will be able to screen from. In the example below you will see that if we were looking to do a screening on February 14th, ideally we should be looking at screening any time after 1810.

If you want to manage your own event that is no problem, please make sure you have two copies of the DVD and you have the appropriate license. Please contact www.gfd.ie on how to obtain licence for your event
If your screening is a non commercial event, in other words there is no entry fee on your gate then we can obtain a screening licence on your behalf. If you intend to charge people in to see your film then you will need to liaise direct with www.gfd.ie
We base our quotes on a grass set up on the assumption that we can spike into the ground for the screen guide ropes. If your site is not it shouldn't be a problem. We will need to take a look at the location to make sure we can definitely secure the screen though.
Yes we have full public liability insurance
We can screen in wind speeds up to 25 knots. After that we are afraid that we will have to take the screen down for health and safety reasons. With regard to rain, we do keep an eye on the weather prior to a screening. If we feel that the weather is going to be an issue we will contact you two days prior to the screening to discuss your options. We don't screen in the rain!
Yes, we take a 50% deposit up front. The balance is due before the screening commences. No balance paid prior to the event, no screening, there are no exceptions.
Your deposit is non refundable except for cancelations due to bad weather
The main thing is to make sure they bring a camping chair and loads of warm clothing. It is suppressing how cold you can get when sitting still so blankets and sleeping bags make for a much more comfortable experience. In addition to this people love to bring a picnic, some nibbles and a hot flask can make all the difference.
Of course we can. We love film, that’s why we do this.
