TG4, BBC ALBA, S4C, and Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund (ILBF) have announced the launch of the ‘Celtic International Fund’.
The fund will run a yearly joint-commissioning round between the indigenous Celtic language television broadcasters and funders of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The aim of the ‘Celtic International Fund’ is to promote co-development and then co-production through Scottish Gaelic, Welsh and Irish, and to encourage a broader European and worldwide internationalisation of productions, which are originally conceived in those Celtic languages.
The Celtic International Fund hopes to provide film-makers with an opportunity to co-develop and coproduce distinctive, ambitious works to enrich primetime programme schedules, to have a national impact with audiences in the territories of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and seek to reach audiences worldwide.
This initial call-out encompasses three genres, Factual, Drama and Animation.
Deadline for Factual Development: Wednesday, 19th September 2018
Deadline for Drama Development: Wednesday, 24th October 2018
Deadline for Animation Development: Wednesday, 24th October 2018
