Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland’s Regional Support Fund is now open for applications
Posted: 9th March 2023
Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland is delighted to announce a new International and Additional Film and TV Production Support Scheme with a focus on production within the regions - the Regional Production Support Fund.
This production loan offsets the additional costs associated with producing in regional areas of Ireland (defined as outside the Dublin / Wicklow area).
The development of film and television production activity and jobs across regional Ireland remains a key priority for Screen Ireland. 47% of the local Irish feature film and TV drama in Screen Ireland’s 2023 slate were produced or filmed on location in regional areas, including Donegal, Limerick, Clare, Galway and Mayo.
The scheme is open to applications from Irish production companies in relation to projects that would be interested in basing their production in the regional areas of the Republic of Ireland but face significant additional spend and cost being incurred in such circumstances (to include key infrastructure and personnel).
Amounts available will be across two strands of activity:
- Local Film and TV Production Support
- Live Action International
Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until funds are expended.
