Screen Ireland's Creative Futures Fund is now open for applications
Posted: 5th October 2021
Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland is delighted to announce that a new company support fund is now open for applications. The Creative Futures Fund is aimed at audio-visual companies who are developing a slate of narrative projects across film, TV, animation and documentary.
As part of Screen Ireland's commitment to grow strong and resilient companies across Ireland, the fund is designed to help companies strengthen and hone their expert creative capabilities and ambitions and enable high quality cultural projects. It is particularly targeted at those who are looking to expand and build on their creative ambitions, develop talent, target a diverse and expanding creative slate and support their business with the adequate skills and capabilities needed to enable increased opportunity and growth. This may be in the form of key creative and expert consultancy (domestically or internationally), or employment of new expert creative personnel. The Creative Futures Fund is about building strength and depth in in-house creative teams.
With two strands - International and Next Stage Development - aimed at increasing scale and ambition for smaller, emerging companies as well as more established businesses looking to establish a wider international footprint, the Creative Futures Fund will support creative and business costs to help ensure companies develop their own creative vision and voice and deepen creative partnerships.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 1pm, Friday, October 29th, 2021.
