Ireland has been a signatory to the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-production since the 1st of August 2000. The Irish Film Board is the competent authority in Ireland and is responsible for issuing provisional and final co-production approval.

This treaty is intended to encourage multi-lateral film co-productions between three or more signatory countries, but also allows for bi-lateral co-productions where no bi-lateral treaty exists. The convention is limited to films intended for theatrical distributions.

Please ensure you review the convention, which is downloadable from this page, prior to making an application.
