13 Jan 2021 : News Desk Virgin Media Discovers Ten successful projects, selected from a pool of over 600 entries, have been shortlisted for the short film competition, which has an overall fund of 150,000.
Each project will now receive €9,000 to further evolve their ideas with a script writer, with two of these projects ultimately to be chosen by a renowned judging panel for final production. The winning films will be broadcast on Virgin Media Television and on Virgin Media on Demand as part of the Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival 2021 programme of events. This year, the competition is even bigger through a partnership with Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland, offering support to develop scripts and bringing new film concepts to a wider audience, which is at the heart of the prize fund this year.
