Shared Island: Cross Border Collaboration
Sat 12 July | 10:00 – 11:00 | Veranda Lounge, Galmont Hotel
This panel aims to explore the creative and cultural connections across the island of Ireland through the lens of the screen industry. It will look at the opportunities, challenges, and future potential for deeper collaboration between artists, producers, funders, and institutions North and South.
We are honoured to be joined by a remarkable group of speakers who are each playing an important role in shaping that shared cultural space:
- Marilyn Gaughan-Redden, Galway Culture Company (Moderator)
- Proinsias Ní Ghráinne, Commissioning Editor, TG4
- Macdara Kelleher, Wild Atlantic Pictures
- Trevor Birney, Fine Point Films (Northern Ireland)
- Áine Walsh, Northern Ireland Screen
- More panellists to be announced.
As we come together in Galway, this conversation offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the progress already made in building shared cultural narratives, and to consider what further steps can be taken to strengthen creative ties across borders.
