Sarah Ahern’s short film Safe As Houses, directed by Mia Mullarkey, will be having its premiere at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh, which runs 5 – 10 July.

The film was supported by the Screen Ireland Focus Shorts programme.

On a hot summer’s day, Aggie, a woman with Down syndrome, offers shelter to a young girl when her homelife is not so welcoming.
