ilDÁNA 2026

Aprašymas

TG4 and the Arts Council are delighted to announce a new season of ilDÁNA 2026. ilDÁNA continues to enhance the TG4 schedule and theatrical screenings by supporting the making of ambitious and cinematic long-form documentaries on the arts in Irish. This season we wish to fund the making of two feature-length landmark documentary films, each with a budget of up to €135,000. It is hoped that one of the two documentaries will give expression to inclusivity and diversity in the arts and actively involve new and under-represented voices. While we welcome proposals about any artform or arts practice area, we wish to encourage applications that explore artforms which are not regularly the subject of arts documentaries in Irish. Films commissioned for ilDÁNA will provide a definitive creative treatment of their arts subject. Proposals exploring any artform or practice area are welcome. Contemporary subjects are preferred but contemporary treatments of historical works/subjects may also be considered. Up to two films will be funded with a budget of up to €135,000 per film. They will launch with dedicated cinema screenings and will have a theatrical window before broadcast to a primetime TG4 audience in 2027. It is our intention that one of the two documentaries to be funded will give expression to inclusivity and diversity in the arts and actively involve new and under-represented voices.
