CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2013

THE SONG OF THE SEA

Whilst 2013 was my first year as Chairman of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB), it was also the year which marked the 20th anniversary of

the establishment of the agency which has been investing in Irish feature films, television dramas, documentaries and animation and supporting Irish creative talent for over two decades.

During this time, the agency has invested in hundreds of projects as well as playing a central role in developing the industry through training and education. The 20th anniversary IFB Irish film show-reel displayed the variety and creativity of the Irish talent at work in a selection of films produced since 1993. The Irish writers, directors, artists and technicians involved in these films can rightly be proud of the great work they have done in bringing Irish stories to domestic and international audiences.

PRODUCTION ACTIVITY

Through 2013, the industry continued to experience high levels of production activity, ranging from feature film and high-end TV drama to animation, documentary and low-budget projects. The IFB funded 16 Irish feature films, 6 creative feature co-productions, 31 feature documentaries, 1 TV drama and 7 animated projects.

Projects supported by the IFB this year include films by established directors Lenny Abrahamson (Frank), Mary McGuckian (The Price of Desire), John Boorman (Queen and Country) and Ken Loach (Jimmy’s Hall); first-time feature directors Brian O’Malley (Let Us Prey) and Lisa Mulcahy (The Legend of Longwood); and returning feature directors Niall Heery (Gold) and Terry McMahon (Patrick’s Day). Production also began on the animation feature film Song of the Sea from the company behind the Academy Award ® nominated The Secret of Kells, and the new documentary feature film Gentlemen by multi-award winning director Ken Wardrop.

Irish animation TV producers performed outstandingly at Cartoon Forum this year, presenting the highest number of IFB-backed animated series ever to key financiers. These included Puffin Rock, narrated by Chris O’Dowd, and the continuation of the successful series Punky. The IFB also continues to invest in Irish language TV drama with An Bronntanas.

International TV production in Ireland is at its highest level on record. Major projects include the TV series Penny Dreadful, worth over €33 million to the Irish economy and shooting in Ardmore Studios, as well as the second series of both Vikings and Ripper Street. The Irish Government also demonstrated its support for the industry by announcing major improvements to the tax incentive for film and television, Section 481, increasing Ireland’s international competitiveness as a location for film, television and animation commencing in 2015.

Ba é 2013 an chéad bhliain domsa mar Chathaoirleach ar Bhord Scannán na hÉireann/Irish Film Board (BSÉ/IFB) agus chomh maith leis sin comóradh fiche bliana bhí ann

ag an ngníomhaireacht, a bhfuil breis is dhá scór bliain caite anois aici ag infheistiú i bpríomhscannáin, i ndrámaí teilifíse, scannáin faisnéise agus scannáin bheochana agus ag tabhairt tacaíochta do thallann chruthaitheach Éireannach.

Le linn na tréimhse sin, tá infheistíocht déanta ag an ngníomhaireacht sna céadta tionscnamh i dteannta ról lárnach a ghlacadh i bhforbairt an tionscail trí oiliúint agus oideachas. Thaispeáin an seó-spól comórtha fiche bliain a rinne (BSÉ/IFB) ilghnéitheacht agus cruthaitheacht na tallainne Éireannaigh i mbun saothair i rogha scannán a léiríodh ón bhliain 1993 amach. Tá an ceart ag na scríbhneoirí, stiúrthóirí, ealaíontóirí agus teicneoirí a raibh baint acu leis na scannáin sin a bheith fíor-bhródúil as an tsár-obair atá déanta acu le scéalta Éireannacha a chur os comhair lucht féachana sa tír seo agus go hidirnáisiúnta.

GNÍOMHAÍOCHT LÉIRIÚCHÁIN

Le linn 2013 lean leibhéil ard gníomhaíochta léiriúcháin ar aghaidh sa dtionscal, le réimse tionscnamh ó phríomhscannáin go scannáin bheochana, scannáin faisnéise agus tionscnaimh ísealbhúiséid. Rinne BSÉ/IFB maoiniú ar 16 phríomhscánnán Éireannach, 6 chomhléiriúchán cruthaitheach príomhscannán, 31 príomhscannán faisnéise, dráma teilifíse amháin agus 7 dtionscnamh beochana.

I measc na dtionscnamh a fuair maoiniú ó BSÉ/IFB i mbliana bhí scannáin leis na stiúrthóirí fadbhunaithe Lenny Abrahamson (Frank), Mary McGuckian (The Price of Desire), John Boorman (Queen and Country) agus Ken Loach (Jimmy’s Hall); le stiúrthóirí príómhscannán don chéad uair Brian O’Malley (Let Us Prey) agus Lisa Mulcahy (The Legend of Longwood); agus leis na stiúrthóirí Niall Heery (Gold) agus Terry McMahon (Patrick’s Day) a d’fhill ar Éirinn. Cuireadh tús le léiriúchán ar an bpríomhscannán beochana Song of the Sea ón gcuideachta a rinne an scannán beochana The Secret of Kells a bhain amach ainmniúchán do Dhuais Acadaimh, agus an príomhscannán faisnéise Gentlemen le Ken Wardrop, stiúrthóir a bhfuil an iliomad duais buaite aige.

D’éirigh thar na bearta le léiritheoirí beochana Éireannacha ag an Cartoon Forum i mbliana agus chuir siad i láthair do phríomhairgeadóirí an líon ba mhó sraitheanna beochana ariamh a fuair tacaíocht ó BSÉ/IFB. Ina measc siúd bhí Puffin Rock, le tráchtaireacht ó Chris O’Dowd, agus leanúint na sraithe rathúla Punky. Tá BSÉ/IFB ag leanúint ar aghaidh lena infheistíocht i ndrámaíocht teilifíse i nGaeilge leis an tsraith An Bronntanas.

Tá cúrsaí léiriúchán teilifíse in Éirinn ar an leibhéal is airde ariamh. I measc na mórthionscadal atá idir lámha tá an sraith teilifíse Penny Dreadful, gur fiú breis is €33 milliún é do gheilleagar na hÉireann agus a bhfuil scannánaíocht á dhéanamh air i Stiúideonna Ardmore, chomh maith leis an dara shraith de Vikings agus an dara shraith de Ripper Street. Léirigh Rialtas na hÉireann a chuid tacaíochta don tionscal nuair a nuair a fógraíodh mórfheabhsuithe ar an ndreasacht cánach do chúrsaí scannáin agus teilifíse, Alt 481, a thosaíonn i 2015, a chuireann le hacmhainn iomaíochta idirnáisiúnta na hÉireann mar shuíomh scannánaíochta, teilifíse agus beochana.

UNBREAKABLE

GLOBAL REACH OF CINEMA

Throughout the year IFB films, telling Irish stories, crossed the globe and represented Ireland at the highest levels of the entertainment industry. The world’s most prestigious festivals hosted the premieres of a wide range of Irish films, including Cannes (The Last Days on Mars), Sundance (The Summit), SXSW (Good Vibrations, Kelly + Victor), Tribeca (Run & Jump, Dark Touch), Toronto (The Stag, The Sea, Life’s a Breeze, The F Word, All Is By My Side, Stay), and Sheffield Doc/Fest (Here Was Cuba).

THE CATALYST PROJECT

The IFB launched Catalyst Project II, which offers up-and-coming filmmakers the opportunity to pitch for three low-budget feature film awards. Over 400 directors, producers and writers participated in the initial stages of this project. These are the creative artists who will contribute to the future growth of Irish film.

THE FUTURE

Looking ahead to the remainder of my term as Chairman of the IFB, I feel very confident in the cultural and economic value of the Irish film, television and animation industry, and the growth prospects and opportunity that it brings to Ireland. The IFB has been supporting Irish stories which are an integral part of Irish culture. Through the medium of cinema with its massive global reach and popularity – and nowadays through online and broadcast media as well – Irish films can travel the globe and be shared with more people than ever before. The IFB will continue to invest in this journey every step of the way. At home, the film, television and animation industry generates substantial revenue for the economy, and it shows great potential for growth and job creation in the future. As the development agency for Irish filmmaking and the Irish film, television and animation industry, the IFB’s investment in Irish creative talent presents an excellent return to Ireland, both culturally and economically. I look forward to helping build on this Irish success story.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Irish Film Board fully complies with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State bodies. In line with section 10.2 of the code, I affirm to the best of my knowledge that:

(i) There were no commercially significant developments affecting the body in 2013 other than those mentioned in the operational review of the year given above.

(ii) All appropriate procedures for financial reporting, internal audit, procurement and assets’ disposals are being carried out.

(iii) A Statement on the System of Internal Financial Control is given in Page 10 of the Annual Report.

INIS SPRAOI

05AIMSIÚ DOMHANDA CINEAMA

I rith na bliana taispeánadh scannáin BSÉ/IFB, a insíonn scéalta Éireannacha, ar fud na cruinne agus thugadar léargas ar Éirinn ag na leibhéil is airde de thionscal na siamsaíochta. Taispeánadh réimse leathan scannán Éireannach ag cuid de na féilte scannán is mó le rá ar domhan, ina measc Cannes (The Last Days on Mars), Sundance (The Summit), SXSW (Good Vibrations, Kelly + Victor), Tribeca (Run & Jump, Dark Touch), Toronto (The Stag, The Sea, Life’s a Breeze, The F Word, All Is By My Side, Stay), agus Sheffield Doc/Fest (Here Was Cuba).

TIONSCADAL CATALYST

Sheol BSÉ/IFB an tionscadal Catalyst Project II, a thairgíonn an deis do dhéantóirí scannán atá ag teacht chun cinn iarratas a chur isteach ar thrí dhámhachtain do phríomhscannáin ar ísealbhuiséid. Bhí breis is 400 stiúrthóirí, léiritheoirí agus scríbhneoirí páirteach sna céimeanna tosaigh den tionscadal. Is iad sin na healaíontóirí cruthaitheacha a mbeidh rannpháirtíocht acu i bhfás earnáil na scannán in Éirinn amach anseo.

AN TODHCHAÍ

Agus súil agam amach romhainn ar an gcuid eile de mo théarma mar Chathaoirleach ar BSÉ/IFB, táim an-dóchasach as luach cultúrtha agus eacnamaíochta thionscal na scannán, na teilifíse agus an tionscail bheochana agus as na hionchais fáis agus deiseanna a thugann sé d’Éirinn. Tá tacaíocht tugtha ag BSÉ/IFB do scéalta Éireannacha gur cuid lárnach iad de chultúr na hÉireann. Trí mheán an cineama, a bhfuil aimsiú agus éileamh domhanda air – agus sa lá atá inniu ann trí na meáin chraolta agus ar-líne chomh maith – is féidir le scannáin Éireannacha an domhan a thaisteal agus is féidir le níos mó daoine na riamh iad a roinnt. Leanfaidh BSÉ/IFB ar aghaidh ag infheistiú sa turas sin gach céim den tslí. Sa bhaile, gineann tionscal na scannán, na teilifíse agus an tionscal beochana airgeadas suntasach sa gheilleagar, agus léiríonn sé an-acmhainn i dtaobh fáis agus cruthú post amach anseo. Mar an ghníomhaireacht forbartha do dhéanamh scannán Éireannach agus do thionscal na scannán, na teilifíse agus don tionscal beochana, léiríonn infheistíocht BSÉ/IFB i dtallann cruthaitheach na hÉireann toradh thar barr d’Éirinn, ó thaobh an chultúir agus ó thaobh an gheilleagair. Táím ag súil go mór le cabhair a thabhairt leis an scéal ráthúil Éireannach sin a thabhairt chun cinn.

RIALACHAS CORPORÁIDEACH

Comhlíonann Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board ina iomlán an Cód Cleachtais maidir le Rialachas ar Chomhlachtaí Stáit. De réir Ailt 10.2 den chód sin, dearbhaím de réir mar is fearr is eol dom:

(ii) Go bhfuil na nósanna imeachta cuí ar fad maidir le tuairisciú airgeadais, iniúchadh inmheánach, soláthar agus diúscairt sócmhainní á ndéanamh.

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

On behalf of Bord Scannan na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board, I acknowledge our responsibility for ensuring that an effective system of internal financial control is maintained and operated.

The system can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions authorised and properly recorded, and that material errors or irregularities are either prevented or would be detected in a timely period.

KEY CONTROL PROCEDURES: The Board has put in place the following key internal financial control procedures to ensure an appropriate control environment exists:

• An organisation plan exists which defines and allocates responsibilities to staff and identifies lines of reporting for all aspects of the Board’s operations. • Procedures and security measures exist to ensure the safe custody of the Board’s assets and assurance against unauthorised use or disposition.• A strong culture of openness and accountability is encouraged throughout the organisation.

The Board has also established processes to identify and evaluate business risks:

• Identifying the nature, extent and financial implication of risk facing the body including the extent which it regards as acceptable in different functions. • Assessing the likelihood of identified risks occurring and assessing the Board’s ability to manage and mitigate the risks that do occur.

• Carrying out regular reviews of the Board’s strategic plans to ensure that these plans address the current business environment.• Setting short and long term targets for each Unit within the Board and reviewing progress against same.• Establishing and enforcing standard procedures under which financial assistance may be made available to projects and reviewing these procedures where necessary.

My audit is carried out in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and in compliance with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

SCOPE OF AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAn audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of:• Whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Board’s circumstances, and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed• The reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made in preparation for the financial statements and,

• The overall presentation of the financial statements I also seek to obtain evidence about the regularity of financial transactions in the course of the audit.

In addition, I read the Board’s annual report to identifiy material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If I become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies I consider the implications for my report.

OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIn my opinion, the financial statements, which have been properly prepared in accordance wiith the generally accepted accounting practice in Ireland, give a true and fair view of the state of the Board’s affairs at 31 December 2013 and of its income and expenditure for 2013.

In my opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the Board. The financial statements are in agreement with the books of account.

MATTERS ON WHICH I REPORT BY EXCEPTIONI report by exception if:• I have not received all the information and explanations I required for my audit, or• My audit noted any material instance where moneys have not been applied for the purposes intended or where the transations did not conform to the authorities governing them, or• the information given in the Board’s annual report for the year for which the financial statements are prepared is not consistent with the financial statements, or• the statement of internal fInancial control does not reflect the Board’s compliance with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies, or• I find there are other material matters relating to the manner in which public business has been conducted.

I have nothing to report in regard to those matters upon which reporting is by exception.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTINGThe financial statements consist of two Income and Expenditure Accounts and a Balance Sheet.

• The Capital Income and Expenditure Account records the disbursement of the Board’s development and production loans and other capital payments. It also records the payments made by Screen Training Ireland in relation to training and development for the Irish screen sectors (Note 17).

• The Administration Income and Expenditure Account records the administrative transactions in respect of the Board and Screen Training Ireland.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) on an accruals basis except as stated below. Financial Reporting Standards recommended by the recognised accounting bodies are adopted as they become applicable.

Transfer of OperationsIn January 2013, the six staff employed at Screen Training Ireland transferred to the Irish Film Board under a formal transfer of undertaking following a government decision to dissolve FAS and to establish Solas as the new further education and training authority.

Screen Training Ireland has its own financial system and produces its own financial statements which are then consolidated into the accounts of the Irish Film Board. The salaries of the Screen Training Ireland’s staff are paid by the Irish Film Board. All other administrative expenditure is disclosed in Note 18.

B. INCOMEIncome shown in the financial statements under Oireachtas Grants represents the actual cash received. Other income is also taken to account on an accruals basis.

C. LOANSProduction loans are made by the Board to assist in the production of films. Repayments and returns are dependent upon the commercial success of the related films.

Development loans are made to filmmakers for the purpose of developing film projects. Repayments become payable in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements.

These loans are not normally subject to interest charges, but include measures for recoupment and profit participation.

Loans are reviewed by the Board on a periodic basis and appropriate provision is made against loans outstanding, based upon the historical performance of the Board’s loanbook. The provision is accounted for through the Capital Reserve.

D. CAPITAL RESERVEThe Capital Reserve represents the funding invested in films and fixed assets after provisions and amortisation.

E. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETSTangible fixed assets are shown at original historical cost. Assets over €250 are capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the original cost less the estimated residual value of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. The rates of depreciation are as follows:• Office Furniture and Equipment 20% per annum• Computer Equipment 33% per annum

F. PENSION COSTSThe Board operates a defined benefit pension scheme which is funded annually on a pay as you go basis from monies available to it, including monies provided by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The Scheme is operated on an administrative basis pending approval of the Minister of Finance.

Pension Scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method.

Pension costs reflect pension benefits earned by employees in the period and are shown net of staff pension contributions which are treated as refundable to the Department in accordance with agency financing arrangements. An amount corresponding to the pension charge is recognised as income to the extent that it is recoverable and offset by grants received in the year to discharge pension payments.

Actuarial gains or losses arising from changes in Actuarial assumptions and from experience surpluses and deficits are recognised in the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses for the year in which they occur and a corresponding adjustment is recognised in the amount recoverable from the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

Pension Liabilities represent the present value of future pension payments earned by staff to date. Deferred pension funding represents the corresponding asset to be recovered in future periods from the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

G. FOREIGN EXCHANGE POLICYTransactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in the Income Statement.

In January 2013, the six staff employed at Screen Training Ireland transferred to the Irish Film Board under a formal transfer of undertaking. The Board’s pension liability increased as a result of the employees’ pensionable service and associated pension liability being transferred on a knock for knock basis from Solas (formerly Fás). The increase in the pension liability of €1.3 million is included in the net pension liability at 31 December 2013 (see Note 10b).

The CEO’s remuneration package for 2013 was made up as follows: Annual basic salary: €104,327 which was reduced to €97,981 on the 1st July 2013 under the Haddington Road Agreement.

The CEO’s pension entitlements do not extend beyond the standard entitlements in the public sector defined benefit superannuation scheme.

Expenses of €18,623 (2012: €18,275) were incurred in respect of the CEO and include the following categories: accommodation, airfares, entertaining, mobile phone charges, subsistence, taxis and train fares.

c. Deferred Funding for PensionsThe Board recognises these amounts as an asset corresponding to the unfunded deferred liability for pensions on the basis of the set of assumptions described above and a number of past events. These events include the statutory backing for the establishment of the pension scheme, and the policy and practice in relation to funding public service pensions including contributions by employees and the annual estimates process. The Board has no evidence that this funding policy will not continue to meet such sums in accordance with current practice. The Net Deferred Funding for Pensions recognised in Income and Expenditure Account was as follows:

e. General Description of the SchemeThe pension scheme is a defined benefit final salary pension arrangement with benefits and contributions defined by reference to current “model” public sector scheme regulations. The scheme provides a pension (eightieths per year of service), a gratuity or lump sum (three eightieths per year of service) and spouse’s and children’s pensions. Normal retirement age is a member’s 65th birthday, and pre 2004 members have an entitlement to retire without actuarial reduction from age 60. Pensions in payment (and deferment) normally increases in line with general public sector salary inflation.

The valuation used for FRS 17 (Revised) Disclosures has been based on a full actuarial valuation at each date performed by an independent qualified actuary to take account of the requirements of FRS17 in order to assess the scheme liabilities at 31 December 2013.

APPENDIX 4

PRINCIPLES & CRITERIA

In addition to focusing on the editorial and creative merits of a project, BSÉ/IFB’s funding programmes are guided by some fundamental principles which form the basis of the decision-making process. These principles are:1. Making Cinema

2. Accessing Audiences

3. Originality

4. Additionality

5. Developing Talent, Cultural & Industrial Priorities

6. Further Considerations

These are explained in more detail below. Some further considerations that may influence a decision in favour of one project over another are also set out below.

1. MAKING CINEMABecause it is the only source of public funding for feature films directed towards a cinema release, Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board’s primary objective is to encourage, sustain and promote work in Ireland that is made to be shown on the big screen. In addition, BSÉ/IFB also has as part of its aims and objectives the support of certain other high-quality audiovisual works.

In addition to continuing its commitment to live-action feature films, this means:

Documentaries will be rigorously assessed in terms of their potential to achieve theatrical release, stimulate interest from international film festivals or engage on new and emerging platforms. Preference will be given to visual, cinematic ‘feature documentaries’; films aimed at a one-hour TV slot or shorter, with little or no international appeal, are unlikely to be supported. Emphasis will be placed on backing directors, writers and producers whose careers to date clearly demonstrate a strong commitment to making cinematic documentaries. Besides BSÉ/

IFB’s commitment to cinema, this approach is also designed to respond to the manifest increase in theatrical audiences’ desire to see documentaries.

Animation feature films and television series will be provided with funding in recognition of the importance of Irish work in this field, the narrowness of the theatrical market that exists for animated features and the very limited funding from broadcasters for animated television series. Preference will be given to original work from Irish talent that appears to be sufficiently inventive and striking to measure up to the big-screen format and/or international television and other distribution.

Television drama, whether singles or series, will be rigorously assessed and may be funded for its inherent quality, but other factors will also come into play. Strong emphasis will be placed on backing directors, writers and producers whose careers to date clearly demonstrate an ability to make dramatic works or who, in the view of BSÉ/IFB, are headed for a career in feature-film or high-quality television drama production. Furthermore, BSÉ/IFB will need to be convinced that its financial involvement is crucial to the realisation of the programme or series and that the contribution from the broadcaster is commensurate with the seat of editorial control. BSÉ/IFB will also expect to contribute editorially to the development of this content.

2. ACCESSING AUDIENCESBSÉ/IFB is increasingly focused on ensuring that funding decisions will favour projects that are clearly targeted at the appropriate audience. This does not mean that BSÉ/IFB is only interested in supporting material with commercial prospects, but instead that it is open to considering projects that may appeal to a wide spectrum of viewers, be they commercial, arthouse, festival-going or on television etc. Particular emphasis will be paid to a project’s potential to engage its intended audience as well as the planned approach and scale of the project.

APPENDIX 3 DETAILS OF LOAN CONDITIONS

(A) DEVELOPMENT FUNDSDevelopment Loans are advanced on a phased payment basis with approximately 50-60% paid on satisfactory execution of Development Loan contracts between the Board and the Producer, the balance being paid upon compliance with specific conditions outlined by the Board.

Loans for development are up to a maximum of €100,000, €50,000 at any one time. Teams or individuals (producer/ director/script-writer) may apply. The Producer is obliged to repay the Advance to the Board on the first day of principal photography.

These should be seen as development/ feasibility loans; the Board makes every effort to track these monies and provides information and support for independent producers seeking other potential production partners. Some of the projects receiving development loans from the Board will not proceed into production and may eventually have to be written off.

However, all projects which are successfully brought to fruition, are closely monitored by the Board and collection of monies due is actively pursued.

(B) PRODUCTION LOANSThe Board’s involvement takes the form of investment in the production and in its sales for cinema, television, video and ancillary markets (cable, satellite, home box-office etc.) both in Ireland and worldwide. The investment is not subject to interest; rigorous measures for recoupment and profit participation are applied. All offers of investment are ‘in principle’ and subject to contract.

3. ORIGINALITYBSÉ/IFB funding will be directed to supporting projects that are original and of high quality, and that bring to cinema, though the talents of Irish writers, directors, producers and other Irish personnel, a different and distinctly Irish talent-driven cultural experience. Funding decisions will favour those Irish writers and directors, producers and other personnel who bring to film a distinctive voice and a strongly individual view of the world, and who create works that give a new and/or reinvigorated sensation to that experience.

These requirements do not mean that existing forms or genres of film will be avoided, but instead that the Irish writers, directors and producers supported will bring a fresh approach and new thinking to these forms or genres of films. Given the limited capacity for market and other funding of film in Ireland, Irish talent will need to be able to work with talent from other countries on projects being funded by BSÉ/IFB, and originality will continue to be factored in as part of the assessment of the combined talents of all parties involved.

4. DEVELOPING TALENT, CULTURAL & INDUSTRIAL PRIORITIESConsistent with its government remit and responding to the present perceived needs of the Irish audiovisual production industry, BSÉ/IFB considers that certain projects, in terms of their content, provenance or benefit to the industry, represent clear priorities for its funding.

Strong preference will be given to submissions on behalf of projects which:• Are of Irish initiation in a creative sense; that is, conceived, written, produced and/ or to be directed by Irish talents• Entail new and emerging Irish talent in key creative roles, i.e. director, writer, producer, composer, principal actor• Tell Irish stories, drawing on and depicting Ireland’s culture, history, way of life, view of the world and of itself

Serious attention will also be paid to submissions which:• Propose a strongly Irish project (in terms of setting, characters,etc.) that is to be directed by a non-Irish talent, where BSÉ/IFB regards the director’s track record as an assurance of quality• Involve an Irish producer as minority co-producer of a film, documentary or drama television programme or series, where (a) BSÉ/IFB is convinced of the quality of the project and

(b) The amount of BSÉ/IFB’s investment corresponds to the level of involvement of Irish personnel, elements and facilities in the project.

Submissions on behalf of works to be made wholly or predominantly in the Irish language will continue to be particularly welcomed by BSÉ/IFB.

BSÉ/IFB will always be vigilant in ensuring that films and high-quality drama and animation television programmes and series in which it invests entail a high volume of expenditure on Irish personnel and in the Irish industry, and this aspect of a submission is likely to play a material part in a positive decision. It will not be a decisive factor in itself, however, where BSÉ/IFB is not convinced by the quality of a project or where the project does not comply with any of the other priorities set out above. This is dealt with in more detail under Further Considerations below.

5. ADDITIONALITYAn essential rationale for making public money available to an industry is that it should create activity that would not otherwise occur, i.e. that the market, left to itself, would not engender. It follows that audiovisual works backed by BSÉ/IFB should be those that would not be made, or would not be made with the same level of benefit to Ireland, unless enabled to do so with the support of the BSÉ/IFB. Such audiovisual works and the benefits that flow from them represent ‘additional’ economic activity.

This does not mean that BSÉ/IFB is interested only in supporting material with limited commercial prospects. There is a wealth of evidence in our audiovisual history to show that the successes are frequently ground-breaking films. BSÉ/IFB will give energetic backing to producers who display an ambition to achieve market success and to projects that display an awareness of the market while at the same time providing a challenge to existing perceptions of what the marketplace expects.

6. FURTHER CONSIDERATIONSThe guiding principles described above should give applicants an insight into the way in which BSÉ/IFB’s executives and advisors assess a project from the point of view of its content and the creative team involved. In assessing production funding applications, other factors may come into play concerning the economic effects of the project, the financial arrangements and the prospects of reaching audiences.

COMING HOME

Where BSÉ/IFB does not consider that a project adheres to any of the guiding principles, these other factors will not, in themselves, be sufficient to secure an offer of funding. But in the case of a project where the content and creative team are seen as persuasive, the following considerations may affect the outcome between BSÉ/IFB and the producers as to the level of BSÉ/IFB’s investment and the way in which the work will be financed, produced and distributed:

Track record of the producer

• Has the producer managed and delivered audiovisual works in a professional and efficient manner before?• Has BSÉ/IFB had good previous experience of dealing with the producer and the creative team?• In a co-production, do any of the non-Irish producers involved have good professional track records?

Irish employment

• Are the key creative and technical positions to be filled by Irish personnel?• In a co-production, is the proportion of these appropriate?• Will the production offer employment to Irish personnel across all possible grades?

Spend in the Irish economy

• Will the work be made in Ireland?• Will the project make extensive use of Irish production and post-production facilities?• Will the project attract inward investment into the Irish economy?

Sales and Distribution

• Is an international sales agent attached to the sale of the film or television programme or series?• Does the film have an Irish distributor?• Are any sales agents, distributors or broadcasters providing production finance?

Financial structure

• Are the proposed co-financiers of the film or television programme reliable?• Will the proposed financing arrangements allow BSÉ/IFB to negotiate a reasonable recoupment position?• Will there be reasonable transparency of accounting with regard to sales revenues, e.g. by use of a collection agent?

It should be emphasised that for a project to be offered production funding, it is not necessary for all of these questions to be answered affirmatively. But negative answers to a high proportion of them could undermine a strongly positive disposition on the part of BSÉ/IFB towards the creative aspects of a project. At the very least, a mix of affirmative and negative answers will provoke discussion as to the extent and manner of BSÉ/IFB’s commitment.

Cinema Distribution

Some BSÉ/IFB funding programmes have specific criteria of their own and are not necessarily governed by all of the principles set out above. Distribution Support is provided to Irish distributors of BSÉ/IFB-backed films who demonstrate that funding from BSÉ/IFB will enhance the promotion of a film in the Irish market. Direct Distribution/Exhibition Support is provided to Irish producers to help defray the cost of a limited theatrical release in Ireland (including Northern Ireland) for feature films already in receipt of BSÉ/IFB production funding that have been unable to secure suitable theatrical distribution by a bona fide Irish distribution company but that still have clear potential to reach and engage an Irish audience.

Tá na ráitis airgeadais,a ullmhaíodh faoi na beartais chuntasaíochta arna leagan amachsna ráitis, comhdhéanta den Ráiteas faoi Beartais Chuntasaíochta,an Cuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais, an Clár Comhardaithe agusna nótaí gaolmhara. Tá na ráitis thuairisciú airgeadais seo a ullmhaíodh faoi Roinn 20 den Acht agus de réir cleachtais chuntasaíochta a nglactar Leo go coitianta in Éirinn.

FREAGRACHTAÍ CHOMHALTAÍ AN BHOIRD Tá an Bord freagrach as na ráitis airgeadais a ullmhú, as a chinntiú go dtugann siad léargas fíor agus cothrom maidir leis an riocht ghnóthaí Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board agus ar a ioncam agus a chaiteachas, agus as rialtacht a n-idirbhearta a chinntiú.

FREAGRACHTAÍ AN ARD-REACHTAIRE CUNTAS AGUS CISTEIs é mo fhreagrachtsa na ráitis airgeadais a iniúchadh agus tuairisciú a dhéanamh orthu i gcomhréir leis an dlí a bhaineann. Déantar m’iniúchadh faoi réir na gcúrsaí speisialta a bhaineann le comhlachtaí Stáit ó thaobh a mbainistiú agus a bhfeidhmiú de.

Déantar m’iniúchadh i gcomhréir le Caighdeáin Chuntasaíochta Idirnáisiúnta (Ríocht Aontaithe agus Éire) agus de réir Caighdeán Eiticiúla d’Iniúchóirí de chuid an Bhoird um Chleachtais Iniúchóireachta.

SCÓIP AN INIÚCHTA AR RÁITIS AIRGEADAISIs éard atá i gceist le hiniúchadh ná faisnéis a fháil maidir leis na suimeanna agus na nochtuithe sna ráitis airgeadais, ar leor iad chun urrús réasúnta a thabhairt go bhfuil na ráitis airgeadais saor ó mhí-ráiteas ábhartha cibé calaois nó earráid is cúis leis sin. Clúdaíonn sé seo measúnú faoi• Cibé an bhfuil na beartais chuntasaíochta cuí do chúinsí an Bhoird agus gur cuireadh i bhfeidhm iad go seasmhach agus gur nochtaíodh iad go leormhaith• Cé chomh réasúnta is a bhí na meastacháin chuntasaíochta shuntasacha a rinneadh agus na ráitis airgeadais á n-ullmhú

• Thíolachadh foriomlán na ráiteas airgeadais. Déanaim iarracht freisin fianaise a fháil le linn an iniúchta maidir le rialtacht na n-idirbhearta airgeadais.

Ina theannta sin, léann mé an dTuarascáil Bhliantúil le neamhréireachtaí ábharacha maidir leis na ráitis iniúchta airgeadais a aithint. Sa chás go dtagaim ar aon eolas i dtaobh aon mhíráiteas ábharach dealraitheach déanaim na himpleachtaí do mo thuarascáil a mheas.

TUAIRIM FAOI NA RÁITIS AIRGEADAISIs é mo thuairim, go dtugann na ráitis airgeadais, a ullmhaíodhgo cuí i gcomhréir le Cleachtais Cuntasaíochta a nGlactar Leisgo Coitianta in Éirinn, léargas fíor agus cothrom maidir leis anriocht ghnóthaí Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board ag31 Nollaig 2013 agus ar a ioncam agus ar a chaiteachas donbhliain dar críoch sin.

Is é mo thuairim, gur choimeád Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board leabhair chuntais chuí. Tá na ráitis airgeadais ag teacht leis na leabhair chuntais.

NITHE A TUAIRISCÍM LE HEISCEACHTTuairiscím le heisceacht i gcás:• Nach bhfuair mé an fhaisnéis agus na mínithe go léir a bhí de dhíth orm le haghaidh m’iniúchta, nó• Gur nótáladh san iniúchadh aon chás ábhartha nuair nár úsáideadh suimeanna airgid chun na feidhmeanna a bhí beartaithe dóibh nó nach ndearnadh na hidirbhearta de réir na n-údarás a rialaíonn iad, nó• Nach bhfuil an fhaisnéis a tugadh i dTuarascáil Bhliantúil an Bhoird don bhliain ar ullmhaíodh na ráitis airgeadais dóibh i gcomhréir leis na ráitis airgeadais, nó • Nach léiríonn an Ráiteas um Rialú Inmheánach Airgeadais go gcomhlíonann an Bord an Cód Cleachtais maidir le Rialachas ar Chomhlachtaí Stáit, nó• Go bhfaighim amach go bhfuil cúrsaí ábhartha eile ann a bhaineann leis an gcaoi inar cuireadh gnó poiblí i gcrích.

Níl aon ní le tuairisciú agam maidir leis na cúrsaí sin faoina ndéantar tuairisc le heisceacht.

Léiríonn dliteanais pinsin an luach atá faoi láthair ar íocaíochtaí pinsean amach anseo atá tuillte ag an bhfoireann go dtí seo. Léiríonn maoiniú pinsin iarchurtha an sócmhainn chomhréireach a bheidh inaisghabháilte sa todchaí ón Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta.

G. BEARTAS MAIDIR LE hAIRGEADRA EACHTRACHAistrítear idirbhearta atá ainmnithe in airgeadra eachtrach go dtí na hairgeadraí feidhmiúla faoi seach de réir na rátaí malairte ar dhátaí na n-idirbhearta. Aistrítear sócmhainní agus dliteanais airgeadaíochta atá ainmnithe in airgeadra eachtrach ar dháta a dtuairiscithe go dtí an airgeadra feidhmiúil ar an ráta malairte ar an dáta sin. Cuirtear san áireamh mar ghnóthachan nó mar chaillteanas malairte sa Ráiteas Ioncaim aon ghnóthachan nó caillteanas a éiríonn de bharr athruithe ar na rátaí malairte tar éis dáta an idirbhearta.

BEARTAIS CHUNTASAÍOCHTA

A. BUNÚS NA CUNTASAÍOCHTA Áirítear leis na ráitis airgeadais dhá Chuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais agus Clár Comhardaithe.

• Tugann an Cuntas Caipitil Ioncaim agus Caiteachais taifead ar íocaíocht amach iasachtaí forbartha agus léiriúcháin an Bhoird agus íocaíochtaí caipitil eile. Tugann sé taifead ina theannta sin ar na ranníócaíochtaí a rinne Screen Training Ireland maidir le hoiliúint agus forbairt na hearnácha scáileáin in Éirinn (Nóta 17).

• Tugann an Cuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais Riaracháin taifead ar na hidirbhearta riaracháin i ndáil leis an mBord agus i dtaca le Screen Training Ireland.

Ullmhaítear na ráitis airgeadais de réir choinbhinsiún an chostais stairiúil agus de réir an Chleachtais Cuntasaíochta a bhfuil Glacadh Leis (GAAP) ar bhonn fabhraithe ach amháin mar a luaitear thíos. Glactar le Caighdeáin i dtaca le Tuairisciú Airgeadais a mholann comhlachtaí cuntasaíochta de réir mar a thagann siad i bhfeidhm.

Aistriú Oibríochtaí I Mí Eanáir 2013 d’aistrigh seisear foirne a bhí fostaithe ag Screen Training Ireland go dtí Bord Scannán na hÉireann de réir aitrithe fhoirmeálta gnóthais tar éis don rialtas cinneadh a dhéanamh FÁS a dhíscaoileadh agus Solas a bhunú mar an t-Údarás nua i dtaobh oideachais agus oiliúna breise.

Tá a chóras airgeadais féin ag Screen Training Ireland agus eisíonn sé a chuid ráiteas airgeadais féin a dhéantar iad a chomhdhlúthú isteach i gcuntais Bhord Scannán na hÉireann/Irish Film Board. Íocann Bord Scannán na hÉireann/The Irish Film Board tuarastail foirne Screen Training Ireland. Nochtaítear gach caiteachas riaracháin eile i Nóta 18.

B. IONCAMLéiríonn an t-ioncam a thaispeántar sna ráitis airgeadais faoi Dheontais Oireachtais an t-airgead iarbhír a fuarthas. Cuirtear ioncam eile san áireamh ar bhonn fáltas airgid.

C. IASACHTAÍCuireann an Bord iasachtaí léiriúcháin ar fáil chun cabhrú le scannáin a léiriú. Braitheann aisíocaíochtaí agus aischuir ar rath tráchtála na scannán lena mbaineann siad.

Tugtar iasachtaí forbartha do dhéantóirí scannán d’fhonn tionscadail scannán a fhorbairt. Bíonn aisíocaíochtaí iníoctha de réir théarmaí na gcomhaontuithe iasachta.

Go hiondúil ní bhíonn na hiasachtaí sin faoi réir mhuirir úis, ach bíonn bearta aisghabháilte agus rannpháirtíocht brabúis san áireamh leo.

Déanann an Bord athbhreithniú ar iasachtaí ar bhonn tréimhsiúil agus déantar soláthar cuí i gcoinne iasachtaí gan aisíoc, bunaithe ar fheidhmíocht stairiúil leabhar iasachta an Bhoird. Déantar an soláthar a chuntasú tríd an gCúlchiste Caipitil.

D. CÚLCHISTE CAIPITIL Léiríonn an Cúlchiste Caipitil an maoiniú a infheistítear i Scannáin agus i Sócmhainní Seasta tar éis soláthar agus amúchadh.

6. LUACH SAOTHAIR AN BHOIRD AGUS FOSTAITHE

I rith na bliana is mar seo a leanas a bhí meán-líon na bhfostaithe, an Príomhfheidhmeannach san áireamh:

2013 2012Príomhfheidhmeannach 1 1Fostaithe 17 13

I mí Eanáir 2013, d’aistrigh an seisear foirne a bhí fostaithe ag Screen Training Ireland go dtí Bord Scannán na hÉireann de réir aistrithe fhoirmeálta gnóthais. Tháinig méadú ar dhliteanas pinsin an Bhoird de bharr gur aistríodh seirbhís inphinsin na bhfostaithe agus an dliteanas pinsin a bhaineann ar bhonn bhuille ar bhuille ó Solas (FÁS roimhe sin). Tá an méadú ar an dliteanas pinsin de €1.3 milliún curtha san áireamh sa ghlandliteanas pinsin ar an 31 Nollaig 2013 (féach Nóta 10b).

Is mar seo a leanas a ríomhadh pacáiste tuarastail an phríomhfheidhmeannaigh don bhliain 2013: Buntuarastal bliantúil €104,327 a laghdaíodh go dtí €97,981 ar an 1 Iúil 2013 de réir Chomhaontú Bhóthar Haddington.

Ní mhairfidh teidlíochtaí an Phríomhfheidhmeannaigh níos faide ná na teidlíochtaí caighdeánacha i scéim aoisliúntais sochair sainithe na hearnála poiblí.

Tabhaíodh costais de €18,623 (2012: €18,275) i dtaca leis an bPríomhfheidhmeannach agus ináirithe leo sin tá na catagóirí seo a leanas: Cóiríocht, táillí aeir, muirir theileafón póca, cothabháil, táillí traenach agus tacsaí.

Íocadh asbhaintí tobhaigh pinsin de €61,453 ó thuarastail na foirne leis an Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta sa bhliain 2013.

Íocadh iomlán de €3,380 le comhaltaí boird i rith na bliana. Bhain na costais sin le taisteal agus cothabháil agus iad ag taisteal in Éirinn. Ní dhearna an Bord aon taisteal thar lear le linn 2013.

c. Sócmhainn Maoiniúcháin Iarchurtha do Phinsin Aithníonn an Bord na suimeanna seo mar shócmhainn gurb ionann í agus an dliteanas iarchurtha neamh-mhaoinithe i dtaca le pinsin bunaithe ar an réimse bonn tuisceana a bhfuil cur síos déanta orthu thuas agus ar líon áirithe ócáidí a tharla roimhe seo. I measc na n-ócáidí sin tá an tacaíocht reachtúil do bhunú na scéime pinsin, agus an polasaí agus an cleachtas maidir le pinsin seirbhíse poiblí a mhaoiniú lena n-áirítear ranníocaíochtaí na bhfostaithe agus an próiséas bliantúil meastacháin. Níl aon fhianaise ag an mBord nach leanfaidh an polasaí sin ar aghaidh ag comhlíonadh na suimeanna sin de réir an chleachtais reatha.

Is mar seo a leanas a bhí an Maoiniú Iarchurtha le haghaidh Pinsean aitheanta sa Chuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais:

Cur Síos Ginearálta ar an ScéimSocrú pinsean tuarastail dheiridh sochar sainithe is ea an scéim pinsean le sochair agus ranníocaíochtaí a sainmhínítear iad trí thagairt a dhéanamh do na rialúcháin reatha i dtaca le scéimeanna ‘eiseamláracha’ don earnáil phoiblí. Soláthraíonn an scéim pinsean (ochtóidí do gach bliain seirbhíse), aisce nó cnapshuim (trí ochtóidí do gach bliain seirbhíse) agus pinsin do chéilí agus do leanaí. Go hiondúil is é an 65ú breithlá dáta scoir an bhaill agus tá teidlíocht ag baill a bhí sa scéim roimh 2004 scor ó aois 60 gan aon laghdú achtúireachta. Go hiondúil meadaíonn pinsin atá á n-íoc agus pinsin iarchurtha de réir boilsciú tuarastal ginearálta san earnáil phoiblí.

Bunaíodh an luacháil a úsáideadh le haghaidh faisnéisithe FRS 17 (leasaithe) ar luacháil iomlán achtúireach a chuir achtúire neamhspleách i gcríoch ag cur riachtanas FRS 17 san áireamh chun measúnú a dhéanamh ar dhliteanais na scéime ar an 31 Nollaig 2013.

IASACHTAÍ FORBARTHA DO SCANNÁIN BHEOCHANA

PATRICK’S DAY LET US PREY

AGUISÍN 3 SONRAÍ MAIDIR LE COINNÍOLLACHA IASACHTAÍ

(A) IASACHTAÍ FORBARTHA

Airleactar Iasachtaí Forbartha ar bhonn íocaíocht chéimithe agus íoctar tuairim is 50-60% nuair a chuirtear conarthaí Iasachta Forbartha idir an Bord agus an Léiritheoir i gcríoch go sásúil, agus íoctar an iarmhéid nuair a chomhlíontar coinníollacha sonracha a mbeidh leagtha amach ag an mBord.

Is fiú suas go dtí uasmhéid de €100,000 iad iasachtaí forbartha, ar féidir suas go dtí €50,000 a íoc ag aon am áirithe faoi leith. Is féidir le foirne nó le daoine aonair (léiritheoir/stiúrthóir/scríbhneoir scripte) iarratas a dhéanamh. Tá oibligeáid ar an léiritheoir an t-airgead a airleacadh a aisíoc ar an gcéad lá príomhscannánaíochta.

Ba chóir go bhfeicfí iad seo mar iasachtaí forbartha/indéantachta; Déanann an Bord gach iarracht rianadh a dhéanamh ar an t-airgead agus soláthraíonn sé faisnéis agus tacaíocht do léiritheoirí neamhspleácha a bhfuil comhpháirtithe ionchais léiriúcháin á lorg acu . Ní éireoidh le cuid de na tionscadail a gheobhaidh tacaíocht ón mBord leanúint ar aghaidh go dtí céim an léiriúcháin agus d’fhéadfadh sé tarlú i ndeireadh na dála go gcaithfear iad a dhíscríobh.

Déanann an bord monatóireacht, áfach, ar na tionscadail a dtugtar chun críche go rathúil iad agus éilítear go gníomhach aon airgead atá dlite.

(B) IASACHTAÍ LÉIRIÚCHÁIN

Tagann rannpháirtíocht an Bhoird i bhfoirm infheistíochta sa léiriúchán agus ina chuid díolacháin do mhargaidh cineama, teilifíse, físeáin agus margaidh coimhdeacha (cábla, saitilít, scannán baile etc.) in Éirinn agus ar fud an domhain. Níl an infheistíocht faoi réir úis; cuirtear dian-bhearta i dtaca le haisghabháil agus rannpháirtíocht i mbrabús i bhfeidhm. Tá gach tairiscint ar infheistíocht ‘i bprionsabal‘ agus faoi réir conartha.

64 65AGUISÍN 4 PRIONSABAIL AGUS CRITÉIR

I dteannta díriú ar na buanna eagarthóireachta agus cruthaitheacha a bhaineann le tionscadal, tá roinnt bunphrionsabal atá mar bhonn ag an gcritéir cinnteoireachta a threoraíonn cláir chistíochta BSÉ/IFB. Is iad na prionsabail sin:

1. Cineama a Dhéanamh

2. Rochtain a fháil ar Lucht Féachana

3. Úrmhaireacht

4. Breisíocht

5. Tosaíochtaí Talainn, Cultúir agus Tionscail a Fhorbairt

6. Cúrsaí Eile

Tugtar míniúcháin níos mionsonraithe orthu sin thíos. Leagtar amach freisin thíos cuid de na cúinsí eile a d’fhéadfadh go mbeadh tionchar acu ar chinneadh ar son thionscadail amháin seachas ceann eile.

1. CINEAMA A DHÉANAMH Toisc gurb é an t-aon fhoinse amháin de mhaoiniú poiblí do phríomhscannáin atá dírithe ar eisiúint cineama, is é an príomhchuspóir atá ag Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board saothar in Éirinn atá déanta lena thaispeáint ar an mórscáileán a spreagadh, a chothú agus a chur chun cinn. Ina theannta sin, tá mar chuid dá chuid aidhmeanna agus cuspóirí ag BSÉ/IFB tacaíocht a thabhairt do shaothair chlosamhairc áirithe eile atá ar ardchaighdeán.

I dteannta leanúint ar aghaidh lena ghealltanas maidir le príomhscannáin bheoghníomhaíochta, ciallaíonn se sin: Go ndéanfar measúnú níos déine ar scannáin faisnéise ó thaobh na hacmhainne atá acu eisiúint pictiúrlainne a bhaint amach nó spéis ó fhéilte idirnáisiúnta scannán a spreagadh nó taispeáint a fháil ar léibhinn nua agus léibhinn atá ag teacht chun cinn. Tabharfar tús áite do ‘phríomhscannáin

faisnéise’; i gcás scannán atá dírithe ar shliotán teilifíse atá uair an chloig nó níos giorra ar fhad agus nach bhfuil aon tarraingt nó nach bhfuil ach tarraingt an-bheag acu, ní dócha go dtabharfar tacaíocht dóibh ach amháin i gcás go meastar go bhfuil caighdeán do-shéanta acu. I dteannta béim BSÉ/IFB ar chúrsaí cineama, ceapadh an cur chuige seo chun freagairt don mhéadú follasach ar an mian atá i measc lucht féachana pictiúrlainne scannáin faisnéise a fheiceáil.

Go dtabharfar maoiniú do phríomhscannáin agus do shraitheanna teilifíse beochana mar aitheantas ar an tábhacht a bhaineann le saothair Éireannacha sa réimse sin, ar chúinge an mhargaidh pictiúrlainne pictiúrlainne atá ann do phríomhscannáin bheochana agus an maoiniú an-theoranta atá ar fáil ó chraoltóirí do shraitheanna teilifíse beochana. tabharfar tús áite do shaothar cruthaitheach ó thallanna Éireannacha a bhfuil an cuma air go bhfuil sé cruthaitheach agus suntasach a dhóthain lena chur in oiriúint d’fhormáid an mhórscáileáin agus/nó do dháileachán teilifíse idirnáisiúnta agus do dháileachán eile.

Déanfar dian-mheasúnú ar dhráma teilifíse, bídís ina sraitheanna nó ina n-aonair agus d’fhéadfadh maoiniú a bheith curtha ar fáil mar gheall ar a chaighdeán bhunúsach, ach cuirfear tosca eile san áireamh. Leagfar béim láidir ar thacaíocht a thabhairt do stiúrthóirí, scríbhneoirí agus léiritheoirí a léiríonn a dtaifid ghairme go dtí seo go soiléir go bhfuil an cumas acu saothair drámaíochta a dhéanamh nó a bhfuil, i dtuairim BSÉ/IFB, chun gairm bheatha a bhaint amach dóibh féin i réimse na bpríomhscannán nó i léiriúchán drámaíocht teilifíse ar ardchaighdeán. Thairis sin, beidh sé riachtanach cur ina luí ar BSÉ/IFB go bhfuil a rannpháirtíocht ó thaobh airgeadais de ríthábhachtach chun an clár nó an tsraith a thabhairt chun críche agus go bhfuil an ranníocaíocht ón gcraoltóir in oiriúint dá sheasamh ó thaobh

rialú eagarthóireachta de. Beidh BSÉ/IFB ag súil freisin go mbeidh ionchur eagarthóireachta aige maidir leis an lánas sin a fhorbairt.

2. ROCHTAIN AR LUCHT FÉACHANA Níos mó is níos mó tá BSÉ/IFB dírithe ar a chinntiú go ndéanfar cinntí maoiniúchain atá ar son na dtionscadal sin a bhfuil an lucht féachana cuí mar sprioc acu. Ní chiallaíonn sé sin nach bhfuil spéis ag BSÉ/IFB ach i dtacaíocht a thabhairt d’ábhar a bhfuil ionchas tráchtála acu, ach ina ionad sin go bhfuil sé sásta tionscadail a mbeadh tarraingteach do réimse leathan lucht féachana a bhreithniú, bídís sin ina dtionscadail tráchtála, ealaíne, dírithe ar lucht freastal féilte, teilifíse etc. Cuirfear béim faoi leith ar acmhainn an tionscadail dul i bhfeidhm ar an sprioclucht féachana chomh maith leis an gcur chuige atá beartaithe agus scála an tionscadail.

3. ÚRNUACHT Díreofar maoiniú BSÉ/IFB ar thacaíocht a thabhairt do thionscadail atá úrnua agus ar ardchaighdeán, agus a thugann chun cineama, trí chumas scríbhneoirí, stiúrthóiri, léiritheoirí agus pearsanra Éireannach eile, taithí cultúrtha atá difriúil agus go tiomáinta go sonrach ag talann Éireannach. Déanfar cinntí maoiniúcháin ar son na scríbhneoirí agus na stiúrthóirí agus pearsanra eile Éireannach a dhéanann scannáin a bhfuil guth faoi leith acu agus dearcadh ar an domhan atá go láidir aonarach, agus a chruthaíonn saothair a spreagann mothú nua agus/nó athnuaite sa dtaithí sin.

Ní chiallaíonn na riachtanais sin go seachnófar cineálacha nó séanraí atá ann cheana féin, ach ina ionad sin go dtabharfaidh na scríbhneoirí, na stiúrthóirí agus na léiritheoirí a dtabharfar tacaíocht dóibhcur chuige úr agus smaointeoireacht nua do na cineálacha nó na séanraí scannán sin. De bharr na hacmhainne teoranta atá in Éirinn maidir le maoiniú margaidh agus maoiniú eile ar scannán in Éirinn, beidh sé riachtanach do thalann Éireannach a bheith in ann oibriú le talann ó thíórtha eile ar thionscadail atá á maoiníu ag BSÉ/IFB, agus leanfar ar aghaidh ag cur úrnuachta san áireamh mar chuid den mheasúnú ar thalainn chumasctha na bpáirtithe ar fad atá i gceist. 4. FORBAIRT TALLAINNE, TOSAÍOCHTAÍ CULTÚIR AGUS TIONSCAIL De réir a chuid téarmaí tagartha ón Rialtas, agus ag freagairt do na riachtanais a mbraitear atá ag an dtionscal léiriúchán closamhairc in Éirinn faoi láthair, tá BSÉ/IFB den tuairim go léiríonn tionscadail áirithe, ó thaobh a n-ábhar, a bhfoinse nó a leas don tionscal, tosaíochtaí soiléire dá chuid maoiniúcháin.

Tabharfar tosaíocht láidir d’iarratais ar son tionscadal: • A tionscnaíodh in Éirinn ó thaobh na cruthaitheachta de; is é sin le rá gur cheap agus gur scríobh tallanna

Éireannacha iad agus go stiúróidh tallanna Éireannacha iad • A bhfuil sé i gceist leo go mbeidh tallann nua Éireannach agus tallann Éireannach atá ag teacht chun cinn sna príomhróil chruthaitheacha i.e. stiúrthóir, scríbhneoir, léiritheoir, cumadóir, príomhaisteoir • A insíonn scéalta Éireannacha, a tharraingíonn as agus a léiríonn cultúr, stair agus modh maireachtála na hÉireann agus an chaoi a fhéachann muintir na hÉireann ar an saol agus orthu féin

Tabharfar aird dáiríre ar iarratais: • A mholann tionscadal atá go soiléir Éireannach (ó thaobh suímh, carachtar, etc. de) ach a bheidh á stiúradh ag talann nach as Éireann é, i gcás go bhfuil BSÉ/IFB den tuairim go gcinntíonn teist an stiúrthóra go dtí seo go mbeidh ardchaighdeán ann • A mbíonn léiritheoir Éireannach i gceist mar chomhléiritheoir mionlaigh scannáin, scannán faisnéise nó clár nó sraith drámaíochta teilifíse i gcás (a) Go bhfuil BSÉ/IFB iomlán sásta maidir le caighdeán an tionscadail, (b) Go bhfuil an méid infheistíochta ar chomhchéim leis an leibhéal rannpháirtíochta a bheidh ag pearsanra, gnéithe agus saoráidí Éireannacha sa dtionscadal. Leanfaidh BSÉ/IFB ar aghaidh ag cur fáilte faoi leith i gcónaí roimh iarratais ar son scannán a bhfuil sé i gceist iad a dhéanamh go príomha nó go hiomlán trí mheán na Gaeilge.

Beidh BSÉ/IFB airdeallach i gcónaí lena chinntiú i gcás scannán a dhéanann sé infheistíocht iontu go ndéantar cuid mhór dá gcaiteachas ar phearsanra Éireannach agus sa dtionscal in Éirinn, agus tá sé dóchúil go mbeidh an gné sin den iarratas an-thábhachtach maidir le cinneadh dearfach a dhéanamh. Ann féin, áfach, ní bheidh sé ina thoisc chinntitheach, i gcás nach bhfuil BSÉ/IFB cinnte dearfach maidir le caighdeán tionscadail, nó i gcás nach comhlíonann an tionscadal aon cheann de na tosaíochtaí leagtha amach thuas ar bhealaí eile. Tugtar níos mó sonraí i dtaca leis an gceist sin faoi na Cúinsí Eile thíos

5. BREISÍOCHT Réasúnaíocht riachtanach í nuair a chuirtear airgead poiblí ar fáil do thionscal is ea gur chóir go gcruthódh sé gníomhaíocht nach dtarlódh seachas sin i.e. nach nginfeadh an margadh as a stuaim féin é. Dá réir sin ciallaíonn sé gur chóir gur scannáin iad nach ndéanfaí iad nó scannáin nach mbeadh an sochar céanna ag baint leo ó thaobh na hÉireann de, ach amháin i gcás go gcuirfí ar a gcumas é sin a dhéanamh le tacaíocht t ó BSÉ/IFB. Léireoidh scannáin den tsaghas sin, agus na sochair a eascróidh uathu, gníomhaíocht eacnamaíochta ‘breise’.

Ní chiallaíonn sé sin nach bhfuil spéis ag BSÉ/IFB ach i dtacaíócht a thabhairt d’ábhar ‘neamhthráchtála’. A mhalairt ar fad atá fíor, tá raidhse fianaise ann i stair na scannán a léiríonn gur minic gur ábhar iontais, ceannródaíochta agus imeallacha iad na móréachtaí cineama. Is cosúil go mbíonn athnuachan rialta de dhíth ar an margadh. Tabharfaidh BSÉ/IFB tacaíocht fhuinniúil do léiritheoirí a thaispeánann go bhfuil uaillmhian acu rath a bhaint amach sa mhargadh – le tionscadail a léiríonn feasacht maidir leis an margadh ach ag an am gcéanna a thugann dúshlán don aireachtáil atá ann maidir leis an méid a bhfuil súil ag an margadh leis.

6. CÚINSÍ EILEBa chóir go dtabharfadh na treoirphrionsabail atá leagtha amach thuas léargas d’iarratasóirí ar an gcaoi a dhéanfaidh feidhmeannaigh agus comhairleoirí BSÉ/IFB measúnú ar thionscadal ó thaobh ábhair de agus ó thaobh na foirne cruthaithigh a bhaineann leis. Agus measúnú á dhéanamh ar iarratais ar mhaoiniú léiriúcháin, d’fhéadfaí tosca eile a chur san áireamh, a bhaineann le héifeachtaí eacnamaíochta an tionscadail, na socruithe airgeadais, agus an t-ionchas go n-aimseofar lucht féachana.

I gcás nach mbíonn BSÉ/IFB den tuairim go gcloíonn tionscadal le haon cheann de na treoirphrionsabail, ní bheidh a ndóthain sna tosca eile sin le tairiscint maoiniúcháin a bhaint amach. Ach i gcás tionscadail ina meastar go bhfuil an t-ábhar agus an fhoireann chruthaitheach áititheach, is féidir leis na cúinsí sin tionchar a bheith acu ar idirbheartaíochtaí idir BSÉ/IFB agus lucht déanta an scannáin maidir le leibhéal infheistíochta BSÉ/IFB agus ar an gcaoi a dhéanfar an scannán a mhaoiniú, a léiriú agus a dháileadh.

Teist gairme an léiritheora go dtí seo

• An ndearna an léiritheoir bainistiú agus seachadadh proifisiúnta agus éifeachtúil ar shaothair chlosamhairc roimhe seo?• An bhfuil dea-thaithí ag BSÉ/IFB roimhe seo maidir le plé a dhéanamh leis an léiritheoir agus leis an bhfoireann chruthaitheach?• I gcás comhléiriúcháin, an bhfuil dea-theist eanna gairme proifisiúnta go dtí seo ag léiritheoiri nach léiritheoirí Éireannacha iad a bhfuil baint acu leis an dtionscadal? Fostaíocht Éireannach

• An mbeidh na príomh-phostanna cruthaitheacha agus teicniúla lena líonadh ag pearsanra Éireannach?• I gcás comhléiriúcháin, an bhfuil an coimheas cuí maidir leo sin?• An dtairgeoidh an léiriúchán fostaíocht do phearsanra Éireannach i ngach grád is féidir?

Caiteachas i ngeilleagar na hÉireann

• An ndéanfar an scannán in Éirinn?• An mbainfidh an tionscadal feidhm fhairsing as saoráidí léiriúcháin agus iar-léiriúcháin in Éirinn?• An meallfaidh an tionscadal infheistiócht isteach i ngeilleagar na hÉireann?

Díolachán agus Dáileachán

• An bhfuil baint ag gníomhaire díolacháin idirnáisiúnta leis an scannán nó leis an gclár nó leis an tsraith teilifíse?• An bhfuil dáileoir Éireannach ag an scannán?• An bhfuil airgeadas léiriúcháin á sholáthar ag aon ghníomhairí díolachain, dáileoirí nó craoltóirí?

Struchtúr Airgeadais

• An bhfuil na comh-airgeadaithe atá á moladh don scannánnó don chlár teilifíse iontaofa?• An gcuirfidh na socruithe airgeadais atá a moladh ar chumas BSÉ/IFB idirbheartaíocht a dhéanamh i dtaca le seasamh réasúnach aisghabhála?• An mbeidh follasacht reasúnach cuntasaíochta i gceist maidir le hioncam díolacháin, e.g. trí ghníomhaire bailiúcháin a úsáid?

Ba chóir a chur in iúl go soiléir nach bhfuil sé riachtanach freagraí dearfacha a thabhairt ar na ceisteanna sin ar fad le go dtairgeofaí maoiniú léiriúcháin do thionscadal. Ach d’fhéadfadh sé tarlú go bhféadfadh coibheas ard freagraí diúltacha an bonn a bhaint de dhearcadh a bheadh go láidir dearfach ó thaobh BSÉ/IFB maidir le gnéithe cruthaitheacha den tionscadal, seachas sin. Ar a laghad ar fad, spreagfaidh meascán de fhreagraí dearfacha agus diúltacha díospóireacht maidir le méid agus modh cheangaltas BSÉ/IFB. Dáileachán Cineama

Tá critéir sainiúla dá gcuid féin ag cuid de chláir maoiniúcháin BSÉ/IFB agus ní gá go rialódh na prionsabail atá leagtha amach thuas iad. Cuirtear Tacaíocht Dáileacháin ar fáil do dháileoirí Éireannacha scannán a bhfuil tacaíocht acu ó BSÉ/IFB agus a léiríonn go bhfeabhsóidh maoiniú ó BSÉ/IFB cur chun cinn scannáin sa mhargadh Éireannach. Cuirtear Tacaíocht Díreach/Tacaíocht Taispeántais ar fáil do léiritheoirí Éireannacha chun cabhrú leo an costas a bhaineann le eisiúint teoranta pictiúrlainne in Éirinn (Tuaisceart Éireann san áireamh) i gcás príomhscannán a bhfuil maoiniú léiriúcháin á fháil acu cheana féin ó BSÉ/IFB agus náe éirigh leo dáileachán cuí pictiúrlainne a chinntiú ó chuideachta dáileacháin bona fide Éireannach ach a bhfuil sé soiléir go bhfuil an acmhainn acu dul i ngleic le lucht féachana Éireannach agus lucht féachana in Éirinn a aimsiú.

THERE’S NO CHARGE FOR THE HAT

AGUISÍN 5 SEIRBHÍSÍ SUÍMH
