Opportunity: Perspectives

Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland is delighted to announce the launch of an upcoming filmmaking scheme, Perspectives, a new pilot programme to support the development and production of lower budget Irish feature films. 

Perspectives is a scheme aimed at projects that offer a new way into a story – providing a window into experiences and viewpoints that may not have been widely represented on the big screen before. The scheme is particularly interested in original, authentic stories: stories that can touch on a wide range of experiences across Irish life, culture and communities.

For the first phase of Perspectives, Screen Ireland will select up to 20 projects for development within the fund. Following the development stage, a number of projects will advance to production, fully supported by Screen Ireland. This pilot scheme will also offer skills development support and opportunities throughout.

Applications for Perspectives are now open until Thursday, 31 October 2024. For more information, full guidelines, and to apply, visit screenireland.ie

Screen Ireland is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion across all of its production and development funding schemes, and would strongly encourage applications from underrepresented backgrounds and communities.
