The Arts Council announces deadline for Reel Art
The Arts Council has announced the deadline for the 2010 Reel Art scheme. Launched in 2008, Reel Art is designed to provide film artists with a unique opportunity to make highly creative, imaginative and experimental documentaries on an artistic theme.
Operated in association with Filmbase and the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, Reel Art will wholly support three films with grants of €70–€80,000 per project. Reel Art films will premiere at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival in February 2012. The deadline for receipt of applications is Monday, 18th October at 5pm.
Reel Art projects should be conceived for theatrical exhibition at film festivals and in arthouse cinema settings. Only proposals for original, imaginative and aesthetically-driven treatments of arts subjects will be considered while proposals that offer visually engaging, creative and experimental approaches to their subject will be prioritised.
Film artists interested in applying for Reel Art are invited to attend an information session on the scheme at Filmbase on Tuesday 21st September at 14:30. Representatives from the Arts Council and JDIFF will outline the purpose and priorities of the award and will answer questions on the scheme. Anyone interested in attending is required to register their interest by sending an email to info@reelart.ie.
Updated guidelines for Reel Art 2010, together with application forms for the scheme are available for download from the website www.reelart.ie.
