With the support of Screen Ireland, the new 14 week programme aims to develop the next generation of film programmers, supporting 15 early career film curators to develop their skills.
Expressions of Interest are now open!
The programme, running July-September, provides participants with all they need to know to plan and promote their own screening event. It combines online learning through the ‘Curate-It’ app alongside in person meetings with the cohort and programme leaders.
At the end of the programme participants will curate and promote a film season at the Light House cinema in Dublin.
The programme is aimed at beginners or those with intermediate knowledge of film curation. It is open to anyone aged 18 – 24 living in Ireland.
You can find out more about the Irish Film Curators including how to apply here. Full info pack available here.

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.
