Northern Ireland Screen is currently applications for the Feature Documentary Development Call. The aim of the call is to develop feature documentaries that will deliver unique visions and voices on universal stories from Northern Ireland resident filmmakers.
It is anticipated that this will be the only call in 2016-17 for feature documentary development. Once the call is closed there will be limited funding available for feature documentary development.
Priority will be given to:
Northern Ireland based production companies. For the avoidance of doubt, NI Screen has stated that “Northern Ireland based production companies” in this context means a company with an existing substantive production base within Northern Ireland.
Projects that can demonstrate serious interest from a national or international broadcaster or sales agent. Priority will be given to projects that have international distribution interest rather than projects picked up for only the UK and Ireland.
The closing date for receipt of applications and all supporting documentation is Friday, July 1st.
