Roscommon Arts Centre is advertising a free Script to Screen event on Thursday, 22 October 2026, from 2pm to 4pm. The RIFF gathering is aimed at screenwriters and filmmakers, including people beginning their first project. Free admission still requires advance booking. [1]

The centre names writer and director Lee Moss as a guest speaker and directs readers to the festival website for the full programme. The associated film festival is scheduled for 23 and 24 October. Its screening dates and the development afternoon are separate parts of the calendar. [1][2]

Prepare one question about the work

For someone attending an industry conversation for the first time, it can help to identify the stage they want to understand. Turning an idea into a script, preparing a production and showing a completed film involve different questions. A short description of the stage you are at makes a conversation easier to begin.

Prepare a question that can be answered without asking someone to read an entire project on the spot. For example, ask what information is useful when explaining the practical scope of a short film. A networking event is an opportunity to learn; the listing does not promise funding, representation or a production agreement.

Separate the workshop plan from screening choices

The festival listing describes independent cinema across several forms, including documentary and animation, and refers readers to roscommonfilm.com for programme updates. Check the actual screening block before choosing a ticket rather than assuming the full weekend suits every audience. [2]

Retain your booking confirmation and check the arts centre’s current directions and access information before travelling. If you need a particular arrangement, contact the venue rather than inferring it from another event’s listing.

After a development session, useful notes can distinguish something you learned, a question still unanswered and a next step you can realistically take. The Press has prepared this preview from published listings and does not claim attendance, interviews or an assessment of films not yet screened.
