App of the month: JDIFF (Jameson Dublin International Film Festival)

 

As Ireland completes its transition from snow storage to official wind tunnel of Europe, we can be forgiven for wanting to spend our time indoors this February and unless you’ve been swept away into the overcast sky, you’ll have noticed the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival has launched around our fair city. Providing stunning visual and aural entertainment, JDIFF promises a global cultural cinema experience we can all appreciate from the comfort of indoors, not to mention cushioned seats with cupholders either side, something missing from my own stool in front of the TV. With over 100 movies playing in 8 different cinemas, some may think it daunting to decide how many they should go see!

Enter the JDIFF App. Available for both Android and iDevices, the JDIFF app is the quintessential guide to everything you need to know about the festival.  The app features:

  • Film listings by title, date and location.
  • A synopsis on each film showing at the festival.
  • Related film events happening around JDIFF.
  • A calendar for scheduling the films you do want to see.
  • And a background to the JDIFF festival.

So until the country has been roofed, you’ll know where to find me this February.

Sponsored stories on Facebook

Facebook is launching a new ad format called “Sponsored Stories,” which allows participating advertisers to promote your Facebook activity by turning it into homepage ads seen only by your friends. This activity can include liking a Facebook page, checking in via Facebook Places or sharing content to the News Feed from a Facebook application.

These shares, which would have appeared in your friends’ News Feeds anyway, are now given special promotion by way of a Facebook ad that appears on the right-hand side of the homepage. The ad will display your friend’s name, photo, a picture and link to the relevant Facebook Page or application, plus any likes and comments. We are delighted to announce that Vizeum and Jameson will be the first in Ireland to run with this new format.  It will run as part of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.
