Ireland has a rich artistic heritage that has translated into a thriving contemporary art scene.

Tax incentives and initiatives from the Irish Film Board lure large international productions to Ireland, as well as supporting indigenous work. You’ll recognise some of the locations in Game of Thrones as ours, and you can thank us for hit movies Brooklyn and Frank.

If you’re a film or animation major, this is the island to get real production experience and an international dimension to your portfolio. You’ll be placed with talented, highly-motivated media professionals working across features, live action, commercials and documentary.

You could be researching concepts, location scouting, script editing, assisting on camera work, or making post-production edits.

Even if you haven’t heard of Ireland’s animation industry, you’ll have seen it. Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and CBBC all show Irish animation, while Oscars, Emmys, and BAFTAs have recognised it. Ireland’s 2D and 3D studios are industry-leading, producing content for TV, film, apps and games, while supporting 1,500 jobs.

Your placement will help you gain real-world experience in animation, stretch your talents and work with the best.
