APPLICATIONS FOR THE NI SCREEN FEATURE DEVELOPMENT PITCH HAVE NOW CLOSED.

After the success of our inaugural pitching competition at the 2019 festival, Docs Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen are again offering a chance for documentary makers, from established filmmakers to new and emerging talent, to receive an award of up to £7,500 towards a pilot for a documentary feature.

You can pitch through a production company, or as an individual. Shortlisted projects will be invited to present their project at a public pitch at Docs Ireland where they will receive feedback from a panel of leading documentary industry players.

Full criteria for the Northern Ireland Screen Pitch is available here.
