Now celebrating its 21st year, Filmbase is a resource centre dedicated to stimulating, supporting and developing filmmaking in Ireland. With emphasis on helping new and emerging filmmakers, Filmbase has supported many of Ireland’s most talented writers, directors, producers and film technicians on their early projects.
The short film schemes developed between Filmbase, RTE and TG4 have emerged as an important part of film culture in Ireland with over 100 films produced between them. The programme of films included in this Filmbase 21 tribute barely scratches the surface of the diversity and range of these films, but hopefully provides a flavour of the talent that has come through the doors over the years. We hope you will enjoy this look through the Filmbase archives, and look forward to seeing you at many more Filmbase screenings in the future.
