Bord Scannán na hÉireann / the Irish Film Board is delighted to announce that applications are being sought for the short film scheme ‘Gearrscannáin'. Applications will be accepted until 13th July 2012.
‘Gearrscannáin' is a short film scheme to produce Irish language short films that will appeal to a general audience. The scheme aims to encourage fresh, new directorial voices willing to take risks, challenge audiences and introduce them to interesting themes which will move them. Whilst aiming to engage a diverse viewership, the films should also be able to be rated for an under 15 audience.
Applications must be original stories written in the Irish language. Short films already submitted to the IFB in English will not be eligible. This scheme will be primarily distributed on-line.
The deadline for Gearrscannáin is Friday 13th July 2012.
