Now in its fifth year, ‘First Frame’ is an initiative that brings together students from film courses, universities and further education institutions from around Ireland to come together to view a curated selection of student films, to participate in workshops and panels with film talent both emerging and established and an opportunity for course leaders and students alike to network with their peers as part of an international film event.
The aim of First Frame is to encourage film students from around the country to engage with the Dublin International Film Festival, but also begin to build their own networks outside of their academic courses. Bringing together the wide range of the institutes of further education and courses from outside Dublin also brings a diverse mix of students to the event. This is the second event hosted by LSAD TUS in association with Dublin International Film Festival. The diff First Frame awards will be announced in Dublin’s Lighthouse Cinema on Thursday 22nd February.

Production was by the crew of Film CEL, LSAD and TUS’ in-house production unit.
Beginning in mid January, a new In-House Production Unit, Film CEL, (Film Craftsmanship Excellence and Learning) will launch. This new addition to the Creative Broadcast and Film Production programme at LSAD, will provide a Media Work Practice structure around craftsmanship of content creation.
Through Film CEL students will have a structure of practice under the guidance and mentorship of a Coordinator. This
production section will be run jointly between academic staff and students with goals to provide professional film/broadcast and
video production content for LSAD/TUS content channels and where appropriate, Internal & external industry companies and
local Community Social, Arts and Cultural organisations on a not-for profit basis. Students working on an IPU production will be
managed by the coordinator, who would also work on and oversee productions. The aim of this IPU is to promote professional
craftsmanship culture within the discipline with the students while also providing opportunities for work placement with
professionals and discipline aligned organisations. Both work practice and skills will need to be demonstrated while meeting
learning outcomes for various production and post-production roles across a variety of forms and media, where appropriate.
In the coming weeks and months there will be updates on the progress as well as any news and events covered by the team.
