Panel Event on Short Film Schemes Applications
The Irish Film Board is to participate in an information seminar on all aspects of short film schemes application and selection procedures in Ireland hosted by Filmbase on 27th November.
The event is aimed at writers, producers and directors interested in submitting projects to schemes. The new Irish Film Board short schemes Signatures and Reality Bites and the existing Short Shorts and Frameworks schemes will be discussed.
Other schemes that will be discussed include Filmbase, Galway Film Centre and Cork Film Centre short schemes with RTE and the Irish language Lasair scheme run by Filmbase and TG4. Panelists on the day will include Fran Keaveney (IFB), Seamus Duggan (RTE) and Alan Fitzpatrick (Filmbase), with Maeve Joyce (Galway Film Centre) and Chris Hurley (Cork Film Centre) in attendance to take questions.
Requirements, guidelines and application procedures of each scheme will be covered as well as common mistakes in applications, approaches to presentation and an overview of information required from shortlisted applications.
Project delivery requirements, inlcuding all relevant paperwork, will be discussed and samples issued. There will also be time for detailed audience questions on any aspect of the short film schemes.
