Dublin Film Maker in Residence

Dublin City Council, in association with the Arts Council, is inviting submissions of interest in the position of Film Maker in Residence.

The Residency is open to all creative filmmakers with a recognised qualification/ track record. The emphasis of the Residency will be on supporting the Filmmaker to develop his or her own practice. However, s/he will also be required to suggest ways in which s/he might interact with new audiences/ communities in Dublin City Neighbourhoods in a manner which best suits the skills of the residency holder (this may involve an equivalent time commitment of 100 hours in the year).

The Film Maker in Residence will be engaged for a period of one year on a Contract for Services basis and will be paid a fee of €25,000

To apply send:

• A C.V. and supporting material.
• A 2 page proposal of what you wish to achieve through the residency.
• An outline of ways in which you might interact with new audiences/ communities in the Dublin City Neighbourhoods. A specific and detailed work plan based on the concept or possible approach for the year will be devised upon commencement.

The closing date is Friday 24th October 2008, and submissions should be sent to: The Arts Office, Dublin City Council, The LAB, Foley Street, Dublin 1.
