The Department of Culture, Arts & Leisure has provided £12 million over a four year period for Irish language film & television production. The aim of the fund which is administered by the NIFTC is to foster the Irish language independent production sector in Northern Ireland in order to provide the audience with high quality TV programmes in Irish.
So who can apply to this fund? What type of programming is considered? What type of product are the broadcasters looking for? How does this increased funding help the independent production sector?

Panel members include Máire Killoran Head of Irish Language Broadcast Fund in NIFTC, Proinsias Ní Ghráinne Commissioning Editor TG4, Kieran Hegarty BBC NI and Joe Mahon Westway Film Productions Derry.

This panel discussion is guaranteed to be both lively and informative.
