Adaptation Film Scheme & Bursary
The third annual Creative Heartlands Adaptation Film Bursary is now open for applications.
The Adaptation Film Bursary is awards by Roscommon, Leitrim and Sligo local authorities under the Creative Ireland Programme and is supported by the National Talent Academy for Film & Television Drama.
The bursary is open to both established and emerging filmmakers and production companies, living/working in the region, to support collaboration among filmmaking teams in the development of an original Adaptation Film project.
The ambition of the initiative is to produce a short film that is complementary to the original literary work, therefore not a literal translation. The raw material must be spoken word, song, poetry, short story or a literary fragment. The literary work or song must be the work of an artist (or artists) from either Sligo, Leitrim or Roscommon.
Deadline is 11th May 2025.
