Who We Are
Frameworks Films was established in 1999 by two film-makers, Eddie Noonan and Emma Bowell as a production company that not only makes its own documentary productions, but also actively promotes participation in the film-making process, through its community outreach programme.

Since its foundation, the main focus for Frameworks has been to develop our community outreach programme and we have worked with a large number of communities and groups on a diverse range of projects. We have also developed methodologies for working with groups on film projects that combines our practice as film-makers with elements of community development. Central to most of our work is a desire to help build a more equal and just society and we believe that film can be a powerful medium through which to achieve this.
Our aim is to produce challenging and thought-provoking films of the highest quality possible both independently and in collaboration with others.
Our objectives are:
- to engage and challenge audiences
- to facilitate creative participation leading to empowerment, particularly in those who experience economic, social, psychological or physical barriers to accessing the arts
- to develop excellence of artistic process and product using methodologies which combine artistic practice with community development models
- to enhance our own artistic practice
- to provide opportunities for education and training
- to strengthen the understanding of diverse cultures in Ireland
- to support the development of Community Television in Cork
Frameworks Films has received funding and support from the Arts Council, Cork City Council and Cork City Enterprise Board.
