New Co-Commission Launched
Short film production: Two Hands / Dewdhorn / Deux Mains / Daou Zorn
Thanks to funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and a partnership with Breton broadcasters, Screen Cornwall is pleased to offer a new short film commission that encourages work in Kernewek and Breton.
Screen Cornwall has been running the FylmK contemporary short film funding scheme in partnership with the Cornish Language Office since 2019 with initial titles made available to a wide demographic through BBC iPlayer. This builds on a strong tradition of previous short form work in Kernewek prior to that through the Govyn Kernewek award, some of which can be viewed via Tyskennow Kernow.
The broadcasters in Brittany have been commissioning short films for over a decade. Nine short films have been produced and broadcast since the beginning of this scheme funded by the Regional Council of Brittany and the broadcasters.
This commission has been set up with the aim to:
Develop the range of films available in the Cornish and Breton languages
Develop the skills and expertise to produce film in Cornish and Breton
Support Cornish and Breton filmmaking talent
Produce shared screen experiences for Cornish and Breton audiences
Nurture collaboration between these close Celtic nations
Screen Cornwall, working with Cornwall Council’s Cornish Language Office, has developed a clear and supportive methodology for working with filmmakers creating work in Kernewek for the first time. Once scripts are signed off in English, a translation is provided as well as voice notes of the language so the director and actors can hear how it should sound. We also aim to provide Cornish language pronunciation support on set as far as practically possible. Editing is done with English subtitles in place and credits are also translated.
The Breton Language Office can provide Breton language support for translation from French to Breton. The Office can also help filmmakers in finding trained Breton speakers to work on the projects.
Deadline for applications: Thursday 30th May 2024, 12 noon (UK time)
Interviews with shortlisted teams will be held via Zoom on Monday 3rd or Tuesday 4th June 2024.
Grâce à un financement supplémentaire par le Fonds de Prospérité Partagée du Royaume-Uni et un partenariat avec les diffuseurs Bretons, nous sommes heureux de proposer une nouvelle commande de court métrage encourageant le travail en Kernewek et en Breton.
FylmK est un programme de financement de courts métrages contemporains en partenariat avec le Bureau de la Langue de Cornouailles depuis 2019. Ce programme a généré des titres qui ont été mis à la disposition d'un large public via BBC iPlayer. Il s'appuie sur une solide tradition de programmes courts en Kernewek précédemment générés grâce au prix Govyn Kernewek, dont certains peuvent être visionnés via Tyskennow Kernow.
Les diffuseurs en Bretagne commandent des courts métrages depuis plus de dix ans. Neuf courts métrages ont été produits et diffusés depuis le début de ce programme financé par le Conseil Régional de Bretagne et les diffuseurs eux-mêmes.
Cette commande a été mise en place dans le but de :
Développer la gamme de films disponibles en Kernewek et en Breton
Développer les compétences et l'expertise pour produire des films en Kernewek et en Breton
Soutenir les talents du cinéma de Cornouailles et Breton
Produire des expériences cinématographiques partagées par les publics de Cornouailles et de Bretagne
Favoriser la collaboration entre ces nations celtiques proches
