IFI Careers Space is a new online portal for 15 to 18-year-olds interested in a career in the Film and TV industry.
Comprising three strands, starting with their First Steps programme following filmmakers just breaking on to the scene making short films.
This is followed by Screen Starts featuring interviews with first-time feature filmmakers.
Careers in Screen is packed with great Q&A sessions and resources from professionals in every sector, including acting, writing, camera, and much more.
These live Q&A's were recorded and this year's guests included Robert Sheehan, Fiona Shaw and Stefanie Preissner, who all offered their advice and expertise. Their talks and much more can be viewed for free.
The last in the current series is on Friday, 7 May at 11am and features writer and Director Katie McNiece.

There is a College Portal for young people to look at some of the short films produced by current film students.

The series will be updated in September and the IFI would love to hear from any Film and TV professionals who might be interested in taking part in a Q&A.
