'Growing up in the Deise', an short excerpt from 'WRITING HOME', a documentary film.

WRITING HOME has been selected to screen at Kerry International Film Festival 2022 Sat 22 Oct, at 1pm St. Mary's Church, Killarney Co-producer Eoin Rogers (and Poetry Ireland Editorial Coordinator) will be available to take questions from the audience following the screening. Developed by Colm Keegan with Kilkenny County Council and supported by Creative Ireland, and in partnership with Poetry Ireland, the Writing Home Initiative is a programme of creative engagement and support designed specifically for homeless service users and providers. This powerful film by Arcade Film follows the Initiative as it rolled out across Kilkenny, Waterford, and Dublin.  Exploring the harsh reality of Ireland's housing crisis, Writing Home platforms homeless service users and providers articulating their experiences as they meaningfully engage in new creative practices. The documentary serves as testament to the power of writing, human resilience, and the need for new perspectives when it comes to housing in Ireland. Colm says, “At times the work shared was incredible, other times truly heart-breaking, but to work through the whole process, from participants saying they didn’t see themselves as artists to six sessions later, standing up and celebrating their powerful work at the end, either on stage, to camera or in print, it was always inspiring, especially given the incredibly difficult circumstances. Making art is a transformative process that profoundly impacts the individual, but it can go even further than that. I believe this transformative process could be used to improve a multitude of systems in Ireland, especially those tasked with caring for people in challenging circumstances. Initiatives like this help systems not just to function better, but to understand those they serve better. This documentary aims to bear witness to that process, and to advocate for this approach.” TICKETS: https://kerryinternationalfilmfestiva...
