ScreenWorks (Into Film) - Northern Ireland Film Industry Work Placements

ScreenWorks, delivered by Into Film and funded by the Department for Communities through Northern Ireland Screen, offers young people in Northern Ireland aged 14-19 hands-on work placement experiences across the five screen sectors: Film, Television, Animation, Gaming and Visual Effects. Placements are industry-led and take place throughout the academic year, giving participants access to professionals and practical activities such as costume and prosthetic make-up, VFX, editing, production office experience, music composition, game narrative and more.

Placements typically run for 3-5 days during the school day and are delivered in-person at partner studios, companies and university facilities across Northern Ireland. All programmes are free to attend and a travel bursary is available to reimburse public transport costs.

Young people can apply to preferred placements via the online application form; participants are encouraged to apply directly rather than through a teacher or parent. For enquiries about applications or to request further information, email screenworks@intofilm.
