Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland has announced the 2022 call for applications to the Screen Stakeholders Funding Scheme, which enables Irish and international organisations to provide skills development opportunities and initiatives to the Irish screen sector.
The Scheme is open to Irish and international organisations and guilds that support the screen sector in Ireland and enables them to apply for funding to deliver skills related activities across a 6–12-month period.
To date, Screen Ireland has awarded over €500,000 to over 20 organisations across a range of projects including Raising Films’ recently launched report entitled “The Pursuit of Change: Issues Affecting Parents and Carers in Ireland’s Screen Industries”, the Cork International Film Festival IGNITE Documentary Talent Development Programme and the X-Pollinator for ELEVATOR online programme.
Applicants can apply for a range of activities including courses, events, masterclasses, workshops, seminars, webinars, conferences, panel discussions, networking events, mentoring, shadowing, writers room opportunities, consultancy support, data gathering, research reports, and the provision of initiatives that support access to the screen sector.
For the 2022 Stakeholders funding call, Screen Ireland would like applicants to address at least one of the following priority themes:
- Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
- Sustainability/Green Production
- Future Technology/Virtual Production/Games
- Improving Workplace Culture & Wellbeing
- Regional Development

- Company/Business Development
There will be one call for the Stakeholders Funding Scheme in 2022.
The application deadline for 2022 is Monday, 9th May 2022.
