公共资助的屏幕开发机构，北方爱尔兰屏幕，一直是北方爱尔兰屏幕行业指数增长的关键机构。在北方爱尔兰制作的最突出的作品是家庭票房的《权力的游戏》，它的八个赛季中有很多都是在该地区拍摄的。已向电影行业提供大量公共财政，并提供直接资金以扩大英国范围内的税收减免。然而，对于这笔资金的接受者、所创造的许多就业机会的不稳定性或对经济的既定好处缺乏批判性分析。本文对北方爱尔兰屏障的作用进行了政策分析，试图填补这一学术空白。设置主题的背景下，英国各地的电影和电视的公共支持，有人认为，提供直接的财政支持，屏幕行业的经济论据需要被视为在对社会的整体影响的背景下。
The publicly funded screen development agency, Northern Ireland Screen, has been the key institutional actor in the exponential growth of the screen industries in Northern Ireland. The most prominent production to be based in Northern Ireland has been Home Box Office’s Game of Thrones, which had much of its eight seasons filmed in the region. Significant amounts of public finance have been offered to the screen industries, with direct funding provided to augment United Kingdom-wide tax breaks. However, there has been a lack of critical analysis of the recipients of this finance, on the precarious nature of many of the jobs that have been created, or on the stated benefits to the economy. This article subjects the role of Northern Ireland Screen to policy analysis to attempt to fill this scholarly gap. Setting the subject into the context of public support for film and television across the United Kingdom, it is argued that the economic argument for providing direct financial support to the screen industries needs to be viewed in the context of the overall impact on society.
