Insights on accessing funding for Irish language films, how to stand out, what funders are looking for, how to get Irish language film to international stage e.g. Báite, An Cailín Ciúin, even to Oscars. For anyone who has ever considered working through the Irish language this is the perfect opportunity to learn more about what the funders really want, what their audiences want and their openness to Irish and English combined ideas. It is worth noting that the percentage success rates of achieving funding for Irish language projects are considerably higher than English only projects. This is a bilingual event. Session will be followed by a networking coffee with the chance to chat with panel members and fellow filmmakers and attendees.

Tabhairfaidh an seisiún léargas ar taithí/obair fhéin ag an painéal, conas teacht ar mhaoiniú do scannáin Gaeilge, conas gur féidir le scannánóirí seasamh amach, cad tá á lorg ag maoinitheoirí/craoltóirí, conas gur féidir scannán Gaeilge a thabhairt go scaileáin go hidirnáisiúnta, m.sh. Báite, fiú go dtí na hOscars, m.sh. An Cailín Ciúin. Dírithe ar dhaoine san earnáil scannánaíochta atá (nó ag iarraidh a bheith) ag obair trí Ghaeilge, is deis iontach é seo chun a fháil amach cad atá ag teastáil ag maoinitheoirí, cad tá á lorg ag luchtanna féachana agus deiseanna do thograí dhá-theangacha. Is fiú a rá go bhfuil an céadatán do thograí as Gaeilge a n-éireoinn leo níos airde ná do thograí go hiomlán as Béarla. Is imeacht dhá-theangach é an seisiún seo.

Beidh an seisiún roinnte idir 30-40 nóiméad leis an bpainéal faoi agallamh, ansin ceisteanna ón lucht féachana agus ansin 20-30 nóiméad seisiún líonrú. Timpeall uair go leith don seisiún iomlán.

Níos mó ná 20 bliain ag nascadh lucht na n-ealaíon/scannánaíochta, bhí Kerry Media Network / Líonra na Meáin Chiarraí á athsheoladh ag Féile Scannán an Daingin 2025! Bunaíodh an grúpa chun tacaíocht a thabhairt do dhaoine gairme ag obair san earnáil trí chomhoibriú agus nascanna; tá sceitimíní orainn deis a chur ar fáil don phobail seo chun bualadh arís i mbliana ag an fhéile agus nascanna a dhéanamh.
