Saint Hugh’s National School, Co. Leitrim accepting the Aileen MacKeogh 20th FÍS Film of the Year Awards for "From Tullynaha to Muckadilla" The Helix, DCU - Mark Stedman Photography
Primary school students from Saint Hugh’s National School, Kilmore, Dowra, Co. Leitrim have been named winners at the 20th Annual FÍS Film Awards, following a national awards ceremony held at The Helix, DCU, Dublin.
Hosted by RTÉ’s Sinéad Kennedy and attended by Minister for Education and Youth, Hildegard Naughton, the milestone event marked two decades of the FÍS Film Project and showcased the creative talents of young filmmakers from across Ireland.
The winners from Leitrim received the Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking – Cinematography award and the prestigious Aileen MacKeogh 20th FÍS Film of the Year Award for their film From Tullynaha to Muckadilla.
The collaboratively created film explores the historical story of Frank Forde, Australia’s Labour Prime Minister, and his family’s emigration from Leitrim, brought to life through an original song composed and performed by the pupils.
