This year DIFF are partnering with ESB to deliver a filmmaking opportunity for filmmakers aged 18-28 in Ireland. It is a creative opportunity for young Irish screenwriters / filmmakers, to publicly pitch for a competitive prize. The successful filmmaking team will be awarded an €18k film budget + professional consultations to realise a short film based on ESB's creative proposal. This proposal is:
"Powering Possibility: exploring how electricity, energy and innovation enable everyday life, connection, creativity and greater future opportunity - not just through infrastructure, but through people, ideas and communities."
The submission process was opened late last month and our deadline is Tuesday 21st July 2026. Please go to the link on the DIFF website below for further details and how to apply:
