Short Cuts Deadline

The deadline for the Irish Film Board's latest Short Cuts scheme is June 15.

We are looking for new film-makers with imagination, visual flair and a commitment to cinema. Special attention will be given to new directors, writers and producers.

We intend to finance a maximum of 5 films from a total fund of €370,000. The maximum budget for any project is €80,000. Not all films will receive equal funding (i.e. budgets should reflect script content and not funds available). Projects of between 6 and 15 minutes duration are eligible to apply for an award. Short Cuts can be shot on any format but must be delivered on 35mm.
