Bank of Ireland Teams up with Queen's Film Theatre to Offer Freshers a Free Movie Date
24th December 2007
Bank of Ireland has launched an exclusive partnership with Queen’s Film Theatre in Belfast, to offer Bank of Ireland student account holders the opportunity to see their favourite film for free.
The offer is part of Bank of Ireland’s Student Account package, and is available to all Freshers who have opened accounts with them this year. Student customers will be issued with an exclusive two for one pass, which enables them and a friend to view a free QFT movie during the month of December 2006.
As the number one bank for students in Northern Ireland*, Bank of Ireland is also offering all Freshers at 3rd level institutions in NI free membership of the QFT. The membership will give Freshers access to any film at a discounted rate and includes exclusive access to private screenings, members’ competitions, invitations to launches and various other exciting benefits throughout the year.
To celebrate the launch of the new partnership, Wednesdays will now be Matinee Day at QFT! Over the coming months, students can see films from Marie Antoinette to Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, from 2pm every Wednesday, for the bargain price of just £2.50.
To receive a free membership card, Freshers simply need to visit the QFT with a valid student card where they will be issued with immediate membership and the chance to enjoy the movies in style.
Colette Mulholland, Regional Sales Manager, East, for Bank of Ireland, said: " Bank of Ireland understands that students are under increasing financial pressure and want to do all we can to help ease the expense of university life. The free screenings provided to all Freshers who open an account with Bank of Ireland, offer students somewhere to relax, unwind and experience the best of cultural film in Northern Ireland without the cost. We are also delighted to partner the Queen’s Film Theatre in their student membership package to offer all Freshers discounted access to a range of world films as well as exclusive membership benefits.”
Graeme Farrow, Programmer at Queen’s Film Theatre said: “This unique and innovative partnership enables us to introduce even more students to the unrivalled cinema-going experience which Queen’s Film Theatre has to offer. Students are valued customers of both QFT and Bank of Ireland and we believe that by offering students free QFT membership they will receive a fantastic opportunity to see world class cinema at a significantly reduced rate.”
