A Cahersiveen youth film group, supported by Kerry Local Creative Youth Partnership (LCYP) at Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB), has claimed a prestigious national accolade at this year’s Ireland’s Young Filmmaker of the Year Awards.
The group was honoured for its short documentary Home from Home.
The film was created in collaboration with filmmaker Clint Fitzgerald.
Told entirely through the eyes and voices of its young Ukrainian creators, Home from Home explores themes of identity, displacement, and resilience.
It documents their journey to Ireland and the experience of rebuilding their lives in a new country.
Home from Home was developed through a series of creative workshops in Cahersiveen run by Kerry LCYP in partnership with South Kerry Development Partnership.
The film is part of Kerry LCYP’s mission to support marginalised or underrepresented young people through meaningful, creative engagement.
Home from Home is available to watch on the Kerry LCYP @kerrylcyp and Fresh Film YouTube channel.
