Finishing Fund 2024

Congratulations to Dr. Leslie George and Michael Benson for receiving the Finishing Fund to support their festival entry for the short film ‘Kathleen’.

Shot in the picturesque town of Enniscorthy, ‘Kathleen’ captures the essence of Irish rural life – its landscapes, folklores, and traditional houses – while also reflecting a universal family narrative. The film follows Kathleen, an elderly woman who, isolated from her community and grieving the loss of her dog, struggles to find joy and connection in a life increasingly overshadowed by neglect from her daughter.

The Finishing Fund initiative was designed to assist filmmakers with an already completed short drama, documentary, or animation film, providing the resources needed to finish their work and share unique, original stories from Wexford with the world.

Shadowing Fund 2024

A big round of applause to Patrick Flemming, who has received the Shadowing Fund to shadow a cinematographer on the set.

The Shadowing Fund is dedicated to supporting Wexford-based film crews, offering opportunities to shadow and learn from experienced filmmakers on set. This fund is designed to boost skills across all departments, including Director, Producer, DOP, Art Dept, Gaffer, Editor, Scriptwriter, and more!

Both funds continue to nurture the vibrant and diverse filmmaking talent in our region, and we can’t wait to see where these opportunities take them!

The Shadowing Fund initiative aims to support a Wexford film crew participant’s travel expenses to a film or television set while shadowing and learning from an experienced and professional film maker. These shadowing roles can be in the areas of Director, Producer, DOP, Art Dept, Gaffer, Editor, Scriptwriter, Script Editor etc.

The aim of this award is to provide up to €500 funding to emerging filmmakers based in the County Wexford region. This is to help with travel-associated costs to a set or location and stay in accommodation overnight if needed. The fund can also be used to get to an edit or soundmix if you are shadowing in the post-production sector.

We are looking for Wexford applications who are working in the industry and want to upskill or are starting off and want to learn from an experienced professional.

Screen Wexford is delighted to invite cinematographer Tommy Fitzgerald to deliver an introduction to the role of Camera Assistant. This intensive one-day workshop will give those interested in working in the camera department an insight into what is entailed.

This workshop will give you an overview of the hierarchy of a camera crew, learn tips & tricks along with set etiquette and what your role would entail as a camera trainee. The workshop will aim to give a broad overview of the camera department and help equip new entrants with the knowledge and some of the essential skills to working on set.

What is a camera trainee?

Camera trainees work with all members of the camera crew, but they usually work most closely with the second assistant camera (second AC) or clapper loader.

They help prepare the kit at the beginning of the job and may be involved with camera and lens tests. They might mark actors’ positions during rehearsals and keep records, camera logs and other paperwork ready for the edit.

They help set up the monitors, cables and wireless. If there isn’t a dedicated monitor operator, it becomes the role of the trainee. Experienced trainees may also be asked to take on the responsibility of using the clapperboard, changing camera batteries and helping the focus puller (first AC).

The scope of the job changes depending on the size of the production. They might start out making tea and coffee and getting the sides (printouts of the scenes to be shot that day) from the production office to the camera department. On bigger productions, they might help with the second unit camera, a camera set up to do secondary shoots while the main action is taking place elsewhere.

Fethard January 2023

This workshop was designed to bring participants on a fast track journey through video production.

Overview:

This two-day workshop was designed to teach how to film a short documentary or corporate video project by observation and participation. Over the course of our two days, we worked with participants to shoot and edit a short documentary about the local RNLI. The workshop was run as a partnership between Screen Wexford and Crannog Media.

The workshop was delivered over two days. The first day was dedicated to filming processes and the second day was focused on post-production and editing.

Filming Session:

Working with the participants we created an interview set-up in the Hook Community Centre. We created an interview set-up with a Sony FS7 and brought the team through a 3-point lighting set-up and detailed interview techniques. Once we completed the interview the team moved to the Fethard RNLI base where we created a series of sequences to showcase the process of how to build a visual story to support and interview. The goal was to focus on observance and witnessing the filming process to provide great context for the post-production process. Throughout this process we had a 5 cameras available along with sliders and gimbals to give the team an opportunity to shoot footage and learn about cameras, framing and building sequences.

Editing Session:

All participants brought their own laptops and ran Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve to edit this project. During the course of the editing process we walked them through a basic introduction of how you edit and manage your footage. Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve is a free professional editing software you can download and try for Free. Link here. There are also loads of free tutorials on youtube. Link here

Once the session was complete we finished an edit which has been provided to the RNLI and will be posted here once its is complete.

LOCAL ARCHIVE

The Peggy Walsh estate is kindly donating local Wexford footage for this year’s edition of Remixing the Archive.

Born in 1922, Margaret ‘Peggy’ Walsh was an amateur filmmaker who observed and documented her life and times in Co. Wexford and further afield in the 1950s and 60s. She also found time to be a housewife and mother to nine children.

Before her death in Dec 2021, her film legacy was discovered in the form of a rich archive of beautiful Kodachrome films of subjects ranging from Irish rural life to John F. Kennedy’s historic visit to Wexford in 1963, just five months before his assassination. This particular footage now resides with the Kennedy Book and Research Archive in New Ross and the footage we will make available on the workshop has never before been seen beyond the Walsh family.

In 2022, Screen Wexford honoured Peggy by creating The Peggy Walsh Award for Female Camera Talent in Wexford.

Peggy’s daughter Ann Larkin who holds the archive, said ‘I am incredibly excited to keep my mothers memory alive through the use of her archive and hope that it will inspire new stories for local and national filmmakers who do the programme‘.

Screen Wexford are excited to work with the team at The Frederick Douglass Civil Rights Festival Wexford to support the Activist Media Lab. To all budding film journalists/activists, this one-day workshop will help you learn to structure your script, shoot your scene, shape your edit and champion your cause with the smartphone in your pocket and in the words of Frederick Douglass ‘Agitate, Agitate, Agitate’

The Frederick Douglass Civil Rights Festival Wexford are running a Activist Media Lab to give a platform to Wexford’s activists.

We want to help write and produce a short film and think about those people who are marginalised and need their civil rights to be recognised.

Over the course of the one-day workshop, we will create, write and perform a collective film that will be shown at The Frederick Douglass Civil Rights Festival Wexford. This will involve scripting and delivering multiple pieces to the camera related to areas that you are passionate.

This workshop will be supported by Screen Wexford and run by Wexford filmmaker Therese Dalton who facilitates a range of video-based educational training including the Wexford Youth Film programme. Therese will walk participants through the fundamentals of filmmaking and the editing process to create engaging short films.

All the footage created on the day will be then edited and presented at the 2022 The Frederick Douglass Civil Rights Festival Wexford on the 25th November 7-9pm in the Wexford Arts Centre.

Values

The Frederick Douglass Civil Rights Festival Wexford values are:

To be rooted in the community, giving opportunity to local diversity, activists and artists.
To include national and international artists and speakers to develop local awareness and links.
To highlight contemporary civil rights issues and discrimination in Ireland.

We are seeking young creative activists who wish to be a part of this journey and use their voice to speak about issues that are important to them.

Background info about Frederick Douglass

Runaway slave and American campaigner against slavery, Frederick Douglass visited the Assembly Rooms (now the Wexford Arts Centre) in October 1845 and spoke for 2 nights. The people who heard him were excited by his articulate oratory and the passion he had for his cause.

Douglass was just 27 when he came to Ireland for just 4 months – he met Daniel O’Connell on his arrival in Dublin and was invited to speak at the end of one of his events. Both men were seriously impressed with each other and became friends for life. Douglass was given the nickname ‘The Black O’Connell’ Douglass said that O’Connell had changed him from a single issue campaigner to one who advocated for civil rights for everyone everywhere. He was ahead of his time in supporting advocates for women’s rights. He only visited Ireland again once many years later but was still shocked by the poverty.

He wrote prolifically and founded a newspaper. He was an adviser to Abraham Lincoln and saw the abolition of slavery in 1865. He married twice – his second wife was white. While he was in Ireland Quakers in the UK purchased his freedom as he had arrived with a bounty on his head. Until his death in 1887 he was politically active and his last advice to a young activist was Agitate, agitate, agitate.

Screen Wexford is running an exciting new training programme in the field of film archive this autumn in collaboration with Make Film History and supported by Screen Skills Ireland.

Archive film can inspire new original stories: a personal tale about your own life; a film about a childhood memory or a chance conversation. Any subject that excites you could be the jumping-off point for an archive-based short film.

This is a wonderful opportunity for ambitious early stage career filmmakers and artists working with the moving image across Wexford to engage imaginatively with the enormous untapped potential of archive film, and to learn to integrate it into their films, with the help of mentoring workshops.

Mentored and guided by leading international names, 12 aspiring filmmakers will have the unique opportunity to work with remarkable footage from celebrated Irish and UK film archives that include the BBC, the IFI, NI Screen and the BFI through the Make Film History Workshop.

The workshop element will run over two weekends – 9th, 10th & 16th October and will be led by Irina Maldea and Brendan Culleton of Akajava Films with guest speaker Dónal Foreman, all of whom work with archives in their artistic practice. The mentors will help the workshop participants to develop their filmmaking skills through working on a new archive-inspired piece, which will be presented at a special screening event late 2021.

Screen Wexford has joined forces with award-winning Shooter-Director Barry Donnellan to deliver a new mentoring programme in the area of Broadcast TV. Donnellan, who works mainly in TV documentary, creating content for RTE, TG4, Virgin, BBC, Discovery, UTV, and a range of international production companies, will support two Wexford shooter-directors to develop their practice as filmmakers and also create pathways to work in the Irish TV industry.

This will be targeted at those with some experience so consideration will be given to those that have an existing body of work, the number of years of work and credits. This particular partnership is not for new entrants. It is anticipated that mentoring partnerships will last between three and six months.

This initiative is part of Screen Wexford’s Skills Strategy and is supported by Wexford County Council. It is hoped that this inaugural programme will be an ongoing initiative that will take on more mentees over time. It will be targeted at mentees from under-represented groups who are already experienced in cinematography or camera operating.

Application Process: Please note that mentorships have been filled for 2021. Selected filmmakers to be announced.
