New MEDIA officer for Northern Ireland
Cian Smyth has replaced Heike Meyer-Doring as the new MEDIA Officer at the Northern Ireland Film Commission. Heike is now running the MEDIA desk in Dusseldorf.
Smyth is "happy to be taking up this position in Northern Ireland, providing me with the opportunity to return and settle in Belfast for, what I hope will be, a very productive and significant period of time."
Cian will be working within a new framework that incorporates the UK Film Council and the NIFC in a dedicated attempt to increase Northern Ireland's awareness of the MEDIA Plus Programme and the potential funding available to the local audiovisual sector.
The service is part of a renewed pan-UK initiative to assist the desks in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
