Secondary school students can still avail of our free online film programmes, available direct to classrooms, until 21st December. See below for details. 

Your support has enabled us to provide our unique outreach programmes to over 6,000 young people since 2019. If you are able, a donation, no matter what the size, will help us enormously.

Finally, congratulations to filmmaker Maximilian Le Cain who has just been announced as UCC Film Artist in Residence for 2023. We work with Max across many of our young people's film workshops, including Look@Me. We wish him, and outgoing UCC Film Artist Yvonne McDevitt, every success.
