Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland has launched 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.
