WINNER
Best Documentary
Magners Irish Film Festival 2006 Harvard Film Archive
"This is a beautiful film, a visual poem to that most intimate of ideas "home," where the totality of human experiences, like the imperceptibly added layers of a pearl, combine to create, in this wonderful instance, a gem." Filmmaker, Ken Burns
“Beautifully captures the Irish immigrant’s journey through the myth and mystery of New York” Filmmaker, Jim Sheridan
“A heartfelt and lyrical journey about the meaning of home.”
Actor, Gabriel Byrne
“A personal odyssey around the mystery of New York”
Irish Novelist, Niall Williams
“Home is a poetic meditation on New York City as a magnet for a kaleidoscope of people. Alan Cooke’s voice-over is engaging and personal, conveying the love of an Irishman for his adopted city. Dawn Scibilia’s images are lustrous, giving the Big Apple a fresh and vivid look. It’s a lovely film. Annette Insdorf, Film Scholar, Director of Undergraduate Film Studies, Columbia University
“Ms. Scibilia’s eye for lustrous textures and the sculptural shadows of the city's architecture makes for a miniature city symphony. She often succeeds in uncovering new beauty in New York's ordinary elements by avoiding the ready-made iconography of historic landmarks.”
Nicolas Rapold, THE NEW YORK SUN

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Jun 25, 2006 10:00PM
There comes a point in every New Yorker’s life in which he or she will mourn a lost New York. But if they should ponder on this a while, they will understand that this IS the story of New York. New York is a city that transforms at a speed more rapid than anywhere else in the world. Whether you’re a native or a recent immigrant, that is a fact the New Yorker must embrace.
In the year 2000, I began to film the city. I began documenting parts of the city I wanted to remember, as they were. But I didn’t see a film. I was nostalgic I suppose. After 9/11, I put it on the shelf. For sure, it was not going to be a film. Four years later, I met Alan Cooke, a recent Irish Immigrant from Dublin. Alan told me HIS story of New York. His story was one of a city in mourning. A city that intimidated him, a city that challenged him and a city that inspired him. Some of the places, experiences and people that Alan felt disconnected to, I recognized as the new city unfolding before me. Perhaps he too was mourning a lost New York, even if it was one he knew only through film and television. We began to discuss New York in a much broader sense and we decided to create OUR story of New York and to set out and discover how other people felt about their New York. We questioned the concept of home. We explored feelings of loss, the importance of letting go of the familiar, of something we call home, of our old selves. The film also explores the hardships of facing oneself in moments of doubt, and realizing that you are never alone, even in a city as vast as New York. The city, the world, and certainly man are truly and ultimately unknowable. But with this film, we have captured a moment in time and a pulse of the most diverse and inspirational city in the world. A city with numerous monuments, landmarks and icons. Too many to name. All built by immigrants and by the sons and daughters of immigrants!

All the best for your film. what a wonderful concept --- love its dualistic quality of being a personal perpective, and yet such a universal story. The title is amazingly simple and yet bound to touch a chord with everyone. Cheers! --Bindiya
