🎬 APPLICATIONS OPEN: Set Etiquette Workshop

🎬 REGISTRATIONS OPEN: Filmmakers Panel & Networking

We're delighted to be bringing two great events to this year's OFFline Film Festival!

First up, get 'set ready' at our Set Etiquette Workshop. If you're starting on productions, this one's for you — we will go through crew roles, production paperwork, start forms and timesheets, how a production is organised, set lingo, walkie-talkie know-how, and set culture. Everything you need to walk onto a set with confidence.

Then join The National Talent Academies and Film Offaly for an afternoon of opportunity, insight, inspiration and connections at our panel & network event. The panel offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the forthcoming Irish feature film One Sweet Hour – a “road” movie set on Offaly’s Grand Canal and shot in 2025.

This promises to be a unique insight into feature filmmaking in the Midlands.

Come meet your creative peers and industry stakeholders.
