New Deadline Announced for Signatures Short Scheme
The deadline for the Irish Film Board's flagship short film scheme SIGNATURES has been announced. Applications will now be accepted until Friday, September 3rd.
SIGNATURES is a short film scheme for the making of live-action, fiction films that act as a proving-ground for Irish creative talents which aims to encourage strong, original storytelling, visual flair, and production values appropriate to the big screen.
The second round of Signatures shorts premiered last year at the Cork Film Festival and included Hugh O'Conor's Corduroy which was officially selected for the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year.
The scheme is an opportunity for producers, directors and writers to work in a professional environment that will allow them to further their experience.
We actively encourage submissions in Irish as films for this scheme can be produced in either the English or Irish language. The successful short films will premiere at the Corona Cork Film Festival next year.
All applications for the scheme should be sent with the reference REF: SIGNATURES on the envelope to:
Bord Scannan na hEireann/the Irish Film Board,
Queensgate,
23 Dock Road,
Galway.
