ScreenWorks

ScreenWorks, supported by NI Screen and delivered by Into Film, is an exciting new scheme to help young people in Northern Ireland aged 16-19 to explore screen crafts through a range of unique work experiences.

Young people are invited to apply for a ScreenWorks experience, where each participant will learn about a craft or technical role in the Northern Ireland film industry on a 3-5 day work experience placement.

Placements take place throughout the year, and experiences include:

• Prosthetics
• Wigs and hair
• Make-up
• Costume
• Visual and special effects
• Animation
• Concept art
• Set construction and props
