Osaka Expo 2025 Short Film Fund - Deadline Extended

Osaka Expo 2025 Short Film Fund

 

Fís Eireann/Screen Ireland, in partnership with Animation Ireland and the National Talent Academy for Animation, is providing production funding for up to four short animated films (maximum budget €26,000 per film) to be produced and screened at Ireland’s pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. 
 
This is an opportunity to bring Ireland to a global audience. The films can represent any aspect of the country, contemporary or historical e.g. highlighting cultural memories of particular significance to Ireland such as emigration or showcasing significant landmarks. The films should bring original and new ideas on Irish culture to the screen, providing Expo visitors the opportunity to gain a better understanding of Ireland, our culture and history.  
 
Who Can Apply:
 
  • This fund is open to independent production companies registered in the Republic of Ireland.
  • Applicants must apply as a team made up of two or more members. The team must contain a Producer, Writer and Director (one person can fulfill two roles)
  • Clear access to any necessary rights and an agreement with the screenwriter must be in place before an application is submitted.
  • Each filmmaking team may only submit one project for consideration. 

Applicants must not:
  • Be in full-time education.
  • Be new entrants to the industry.
 
We encourage applications from diverse teams across Ireland. The NTAA are committed to breaking down barriers and providing a platform for voices from regional talent and communities currently under-represented within the screen sector. 
 
Deadline:
 
The deadline for applications has been extended to Wednesday, 25th of September at 1PM.
