*** CLOSING DATE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY 5th JULY ***

National Youth Film & Animation School 2019
Screen Ireland Bursary

Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland are funding this unique bursary aimed at supporting creative young people from disadvantaged or marginalised backgrounds (16-19yrs) who want to explore the possibility of a career or college placement in Film or Animation.  

Who Can APPLY? We are reaching out to youth and community workers to nominate a young person they feel would benefit from a fantastic programme like the National Youth Film & Animation School. You may know of a young person in your youth group or youth arts programme who has a talent or passion for filmmaking or is interested in animation.  They don’t have to be a genius, or even have made a film, just the passion or raw talent you feel needs a helping hand. Young people are mentored and supported throughout the programme in all aspects of the film making or animation process.

What does the bursary cover?  All fees and travel costs to make sure there are no financial barriers for them to participate in the programme.  Full bed & board for ten days residential camp. 

Welfare of the young person?  As this is a residential programme, there will be 24 hour supervision with Overnight & Daytime Welfare Officers on hand to look after any needs the young people attending may have.  Young Irish Film Makers are the organisers of this programme and have all the relevant Garda Vetting, child protection training, policies and procedures in place.
