As part of the SLR programme , Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon County Councils are now accepting applications for the 2019 Film Completion Award and Film Collaboration Award.The collaboration award is designed to support the professional development of those working in the sector and to support the development of new work. By supporting filmmakers and writers to collaborate in the development of a new project we hope to encourage practitioners to work together, learn from each other, and to seed the development of new ideas that may be made into films in the future. The Film Completion Award is for an individual filmmaker or film company to apply for funding to complete a project already commenced. The purpose of this is to support the careers of ambitious filmmakers, particularly emerging filmmakers and to support work with a strong cultural or progressive impact and filmmaking that takes risks on talent, form and content, where the more commercial sector cannot.

Completed applications for both awards should be submitted by email using the file transfer platform wetransfer.com to arts@leitrimcoco.ie before Midnight 30th June 2019
