Film Mayo is an organisation which promotes filmmaking in the county, from helping professionals to plan shoots to providing information on funding, publicity and local resources.
The bursary award will enable filmmakers born or living in Mayo to spend two weeks at The Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, County Monaghan.
Objectives of the scheme
- To work closely with local authorities and their arts officers to discover emerging and established artists throughout the island of Ireland who might benefit from working at Annaghmakerrig.
- Through the artistic projects they realise to make their work apparent to the local communities from which they come, through exhibitions, performances, readings and other manifestations.
- Through this process to allow the Tyrone Guthrie Centre to establish partnerships with local authorities the length and breadth of the island of Ireland in keeping with its origins and aims as a major cross-border collaboration between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Applicants are required to show significant achievement in their chosen field of filmmaking, with guidelines recommending three or more television or screen credits.
As well as providing work samples, applicants are required to state what they hope to achieve during their stay at Annaghmakerrig. This should demonstrate that a completed script or film, for example, is being worked toward.
