FRAMEWORKS is a scheme for the making of animated short films which is considered to be continually successful in stimulating ground-breaking new work from Irish animators.

Projects selected for funding will combine creative exploration with an ability to appeal to a general audience, however please note this is not a scheme aimed at children.

The scheme is co-funded by BSÉ/IFB & RTÉ.

Films may be made in English or Irish (if produced in the Irish language subtitling will be necessary for festivals & sales worldwide)

The deadline is 1pm on Wed, 15th April, 2015

The online system will automatically close down at 1pm on this day so please ensure your submission is completed and submitted well in advance of the deadline as late applications will not be accepted by email or otherwise.
