Frameworks deadline looms

A reminder that the deadline for applications for this year's Frameworks fund for Irish animated short films is Friday, April 13.

FRAMEWORKS is exclusively for animation which makes creative use of the medium and is primarily aimed at an adult audience. The awards are open to all forms of animation and can be made on any format. We aim to make 6 films at different budget levels, with a maximum duration of five minutes. The films will be commissioned for theatrical release and broadcast television.

To reflect the fact that animation techniques vary in cost, all projects will not receive the same amounts. We will be looking for a range of projects at different cost levels so please submit a budget that accurately reflects the film. The maximum budget allowable is €15,000 per minute. The total fund available for projects is €250,000.
