This is a fairly exciting opportunity for young filmmakers. GAZE, Dublin's annual LGBT film festival, is running a competition in conjunction with Absolut to find and fund a short LGBT thened film from an emerging talent.
"The call for submissions to the ABSOLUT GAZE Filmmakers project launched today and is open to all filmmakers based in Ireland. The deadline for submissions is the 20th April 2011.
The first ABSOLUT GAZE New Filmmakers Project is sponsored by ABSOLUT and supported by Filmbase. The project is aimed at supporting emerging Irish talent in the funding of an original lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) themed short film. The film will premiere this August Bank Holiday weekend at GAZE 2011, taking place 28th July - 1st August 2011. The selected film will be assisted from script development through final post-production with both direct funding and in-kind support, in addition to receiving hands-on advice from established Irish industry professionals."
So, if you've got a short Pink Narcissus/Suddenly Last Summer/Brokeback Mountain/The Muppets Take Manhattan/Back Room Boys III in you just bursting to get out, get the full details and an application at the Absolut Gaze website.

GAZE, the 18th annual Dublin lesbian and gay film festival is happening next weekend over the Bank Holiday in the Lighthouse cinema in Smithfield. This year the festival presents a cornucopia of features, documentaries and shorts from Ireland and around the world.
Full programme HERE.
Documentaries feature strongly including the Toronto Film Festival award-winning documentary THE TOPP TWINS; UNTOUCHABLE GIRLS. Its themes of life's humour and pathos are shared by REGRETTERS, TWO SPIRITS, and ALL BOYS. PRIMA DONNA: THE STORY OF RUFUS WAINWRIGHT'S DEBUT OPERA is both a record of an artistic process and an insight into his gifted family including interviews with his sister Martha, his father Loudon Wainwright III and his mother Kate McGarrigle.
GAZE also offers many top-notch feature films to enjoy including BBC's acclaimed costume drama THE SERCET DIARIES OF MISS ANNE LISTER, and Jordan Scott's CRACKS starring Bond's Eva Green which was shot in Ireland.
At 18 the Festival looks forward but also reflects back on one of the seminal moments in gay history. STONEWALL UPRISING is a moving and definitive portrayal of what was to become a turning point in the history of the gay rights movement. GAZE also highlights a number of themes in the line up such as the fluidity of gender in TO DIE LIKE A MAN, PAULISTA, and THE LAST SUMMER OF LA BOYITA and documentaries like ASSUME NOTHING and REGRETTERS and the coming out story in THE MAN WHO LOVED YNGVE, LOOSE CANNONS, and the closing night film ANDER. There are also a number of truly unmissable debut films to chose from including SOUNDLESS WINDCHIME, LEO'S ROOM and I KILLED MY MOTHER.
