We are thrilled to announce our YMVC – Youth Music Video Competition 2024 participants, following a competitive open call last year. YMVC gives young emerging filmmakers based in Ireland the opportunity to create music videos under the mentorship of noted directors Brendan Canty, Bob Gallagher, Kate Dolan and Tara O’Callaghan.

Meet the 2024 YMVC filmmakers by browsing their full profiles! They are Oisin McKeogh, Charlotte Rose Ainsworth, Conor Bradley, Lia Campbell, Cathal Eustace, Darragh O’Flanagan & Shane Joyce, Hiram Harrington, David McCall, Pippa Molony. Ashish Prasai, and Meghan O’Shaughnessy.

YMVC has become an eagerly awaited part of each year’s First Cut Youth Film Festival. Since 2016, this mentoring programme has facilitated the production of a remarkable and varied body of music videos by emerging filmmakers, aged 18 to 25, working with tracks by up-and-coming bands. The involvement of film and music professionals has ensured a consistently high standard of mentoring and industry engagement. But it is ultimately the raw talent of the filmmakers who participate that makes YMVC as exciting and dynamic a springboard as it has become.
