young irish film makers
Enables young people ages 8–18 to make their own film productions up to professional standards of excellence. Funding assists with scholarships, video equipment, and production costs.

"The American Ireland Fund helped us equip and organise the National Youth Film School, a major new initiative to set up youth film as an arts discipline throughout Ireland. Twenty-three young people from Ireland and Northern Ireland came together for five weeks in Kilkenny to make a feature film called ‘The Children’, which won the Dolphin Trophy at the Moondance Film Festival 2003 in Denver, Colorado.”
