The Northern Ireland Screen Feature Development Pitch is back!

Docs Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen, in association with Yellowmoon Post Production, are offering a chance for documentary makers, from established filmmakers to new and emerging talent, to receive an award of up to £7,500 towards a pilot for a documentary feature. Established at Docs Ireland 2019, the Northern Ireland Screen Pitch is one of the festival’s flagstaff industry events and has ushered a wealth of non-fiction talent through the process of developing their feature documentaries.

You can pitch through a production company, or as an individual. Shortlisted projects will be invited to present their project at a public pitch at Docs Ireland where they will receive feedback from a panel of leading documentary industry players.
