Creative Heartlands Adaptation Film Bursary

The third annual Creative Heartlands Adaptation Film Bursary is now open for applications.  The Adaptation Film Bursary is an award by Sligo Arts Services Department and the Creative Ireland Roscommon and Leitrim Programmes and is supported by the National Talent Academy for Film & Television Drama.

The bursary is open to both established and emerging filmmakers and production companies, living/working in the region, to support collaboration among filmmaking teams in the development of an original Adaptation Film project.

The ambition of the initiative is to produce a short film that is complementary to the original literary work, therefore not a literal translation. The raw material must be spoken word, song, poetry, short story or a literary fragment. The literary work or song must be the work of an artist (or artists) from either Sligo, Leitrim or Roscommon.  

This is an opportunity for the filmmaker to express visually the essence of the literary work.
