Northern Ireland film and TV fund launched

The Northern Ireland Film and Television Commission (NIFTC) today launched its Markets and Festivals Fund which aims to help local talent establish Europe wide contacts.
The Fund, which will make grants of up to £1,500 available, has been created to assist NI talent with financial support to attend established markets and festivals to connect with the industry across Europe.
The subsidy has been created with the financial support of local government agency, Invest NI and is a three-year rolling fund.
The NIFTC’s Chief Executive, Richard Williams said: “It is very important that our film and television producers take every opportunity to engage with both broadcasters and film financiers. This fund is intended to, in some small way, facilitate that process”.
Interested parties can apply via the NIFTC’s website on www.niftc.co.uk or contact the NIFTC on 028 90 232444.
