A rambunctious stray cat desperately searches for a place to call home, risking life and limb (literally) before, finally, a home finds her instead

From a stray cat finding a home in Saving Chops (Studio Meala), to The Mighty Oak (Adventureverse) seeing its home change around it, to a young child adapting to a new home in Ireland in Dembaya (JAM), the concept of 'home’ and what that means to everybody is something that is very close to our collective consciousness.

Forced to flee their African village due to war, a young girl and her family seek refuge in Ireland. As they rebuild their lives, they discover that home is not just a place, but a feeling they create together

Among these short animations is Envelope (Distillery Films), looking at the draw of a home and how grandparents can be an anchor to the feeling of home, no matter how far away.

The exchange of handwritten letters between characters, with one writer seeking connection at home and another searching for their own place to call home

Home is also about reinterpreting what makes up a family, perhaps after a loss or separation. Drawn Together (Cardel) looks at the bonds between a father and a son and how they come to make their house a home.

After moving into a pristine new house, James, a young single father and his shy, creative son, Tom, clash when his artistic expressions disrupt the immaculate environment of their new home

The infamous Dublin seagulls take centre stage in Homebird (Pink Kong), a comedic look at how home can be wherever you are loved and appreciated.

The touching reunions Steo witnesses on the tarmac of Dublin's busiest avian airport give him an epiphany … maybe he should leave too and get a real homecoming when he comes back!
