Screen Ireland has launched Perspectives: a new pilot programme to support the development and production of lower budget Irish feature films.

Perspectives is a pilot initiative for filmmakers providing a window into experiences and viewpoints that may not have been widely represented on the big screen before. The scheme is particularly interested in original, authentic stories that can touch on a wide range of experiences across Irish life, culture and communities. 

For the first phase of Perspectives, Screen Ireland will select up to 20 live action fiction feature films for development within the fund. Following the development stage, a number of projects will advance to production, fully supported by Screen Ireland.
