Ardán and Galway City of Film are delighted to announce that applications are now open for the Short Documentary Bursary 2024, the documentary funding and mentorship scheme for filmmakers in Galway City and County.
We are looking for up-and-coming filmmakers to apply to this bursary to help them make one of their first steps in their filmmaking career. Successful applicants will be given a bursary of €3,000 to help them make a short documentary of between five and fifteen minutes in duration.
Previous recipients of this bursary have gone on to have their films screened at the Galway Film Fleadh, as well as other local, national and international film festivals. Read about previous participant – Dina Sragalj’s experience participating last year and her entry into Docs Ireland.
The selected filmmakers will be mentored by Galway-based documentary filmmaker Donal Haughey of Hawkeye Films. Donal has produced and/or directed 30+ documentaries both for his own company, Hawkeye Films and as a freelancer. His projects have been involved in both national and international stories, consisting of feature-length, one-hour, half-hour and short form docs. For 20 years Donal was the documentary tutor on GMIT’s (ATU’s) Film & Documentary course – honours, Level 8. Donal is presently working on a documentary about the legendary traditional Irish singer and poet, Paddy Tunney.
