the last harvest | a short film

A short film project, supported by Creative Ireland, Screen Ireland Actor as Creator fund, Clare County Council, Axis, Ballymun, Droichead Arts Centre and the Arts Council, Ireland.
100 years from now, climate change has drastically changed the Earth, and Ireland, now an archipelago, is a lifeboat nation to many; an uncertain future where social structures have disappeared.
Two women, Helen & Kari, are the only adults in a community of young people and children. Tasked with passing on the knowledge of how to survive in an unpredictable world we see their daily tasks and way of living play out with tenderness.

A documentary about how we made the film can be found here.
