Filmbase/RTE Short Film Awards 2010 - Deadline 5th Feb
Filmbase and RTÉ are pleased to announce the 2010 round of the long-running Filmbase/RTÉ Short Film Award Scheme
We are delighted that even in these extremely difficult times that RTÉ has been able to continue their support for the scheme which, over the years, has given so many Irish filmmakers the opportunity to make short films and embark on professional careers in film and television. However, this year there will only be 4 shorts funded through the scheme, as opposed to the 6 of more recent years - which means the competition has gotten just that little bit tougher!
Please note that while the first application date has traditionally been the last Friday in January, this year the deadline has been extended by one week to the 5th February. We hope that additional week will give applicants an extra opportunity to develop and polish their scripts!
