NIAMH KENNEDY

DIRECTOR

↓

I am an award-winning Director specialising in visually strong documentaries. I’ve made both feature documentaries and series for Sky, Amazon Prime, the BBC, Ch4, Screen Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen.

In 2026, 'The Dunblane Tapes', has been nominated for an Edinburgh TV Festival Award and a Broadcast Award. The series 'Death of a Showjumper' was nominated for a Broadcast Award and a True Crime Award. In 2024, my film 'The Jennings vs Alzheimer's' won a Grierson Award.

I am also a voting BAFTA member, and have been a jury member for both the BAFTA and the Grierson Awards.

I am concurrently moving into directing scripted drama, mentored by Bruce Goodison. Over the years I've collaborated with Execs and writers to develop real life stories into scripted films and tv series, winning script commissions for both feature films and tv series. I have also previously worked on high-end commercials, including Land Rover’s Rugby World Cup campaign, filming on three different continents.
