International Film Base started the first film making and directing course in 1997. It’s aim was to show passionate beginners and emerging film makers, how to make their own short films happen now and develop their own screenplays. Since then hundreds of short films have been produced as a direct result of our courses.

Since the start of the film courses International Film Base has also developed into a production company. Please see our directors Colm O’Murchu and Chris Hobart profile.

The courses mainly focus on the most practical ways to make film projects happen now. The courses also have numerous social networking events attached, This is to encourage participants to form creative collaborations with fellow course participants. Within weeks of starting a International Film Base film course, you are part of a group producing a short film. Each short film takes 3 Months to complete. If this makes you excited, you have found the right course. Book any of our courses now and you could be making your own film this year.
