An in-depth analysis of the Mid-West’s current film production capacity

Posted: November 21, 2023 in Craft & Craftsmanship, Education, Film
Tags: , , , , , , ,

“The Mid-West of Ireland has massive potential as a major Film/TV production location. In a few shorts years, the region has made great strides in developing the sector, with a rapidly growing crew-base, the biggest film studio in Ireland, new companies launched and numerous features and TV-series choosing to film in Limerick, Tipperary and Clare. Our ambition for the sector is huge, and it’s great to be working with the team at Olsberg SPI and local stakeholders to carry out an in-depth analysis of the Mid-West’s current film production capacity. The resulting report will look at our strengths, weaknesses, constraints and capacity gaps in key areas of production and skills, as well as the opportunities for future growth.

Thank you to our funders and champions for their continued support and vision to develop the sector here, and especially to our report funders; Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board, Midwest Regional Skills Forum, and the Local Enterprise Offices in Clare, Tipperary and in Limerick. And to all those who have taken part in the survey, consultations and roundtable discussions to date. We are looking forward to 2024, the launch of the new report and to many more productions and successes in the region.”

Paul C. Ryan, Film Commissioner/Regional Film Manager, Mid-West Region, Ireland.

Cineposium Postponed

Posted: August 25, 2023 in Film, live Event
Tags: , ,

A decision was reached between Film in Limerick and AFCI in consultation with Fis Éireann/ Screen Ireland to postpone this year’s Cineposium event.

Created to provide education and celebrate the greater production industry, Cineposium also held great value to the host city in spotlighting its region and local infrastructure. Due to the ongoing global uncertainty within the international industry right now due to the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, we feel it is best for everyone who participates in Cineposium to conduct the event at a later date.

Tags: , , , , ,

With just days to go, until the First Frame Event of the Dublin International Film Festival is taking place at the Millennium Theatre, TUS, below is a featurette of the short documentary ‘Dungeons & Dreams’. Produced by the 2nd Years of the Creative Broadcast & Film Production programme at LSAD, TUS, the story features Kéno McMahon, who with others use the table top game Dungeons and Dragons to explore questions of identity and gender.

The featurette was produced by Film CEL, the in-house production unit at TUS.

This is one of 11 nominations for LSAD, TUS in DIFF 2023, and also the first time that an event for the festival is taking place outside Dublin. Check out my previous post for more details of what’s happening on the day, or on the image below. Tickets are free and still available HERE or via clicking the picture below.
