Kieran Hickey's legacy is seen in the form of his films, and the testimonies of other accredited people in the filmmaking industry. Examples of his works being preserved and retaining relevance are the 11th Jameson Dublin International Film Festival in 2013, in the University of California Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific film archive, in the National Library of Ireland and in James Joyce Library in UCD

Hickey’s films were shown as part of the 11th Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (14-24 February 2013).Exposure (1978) and Criminal Conversation (1980) were shown by Theatre director Patrick Mason. Mason described Hickey as a “socially and politically committed filmmaker”, and remarked how his commitment was rare at the time, where it was not a financially fulfilling business to be involved in. In the films programme, Hickey’s co-writer Philip Davison noted that he was “intent on bringing to the screen a true picture of Irish society” continuing on to say that his work portrayed a sense of “honesty and an exactitude”. On a personal note, Davison regarded Hickey as a “private man with strong friendships, ever prepared to get in the fight”.

On April 16 1999 film critic David Thompson presented Kieran Hickey’s ‘A Child's Voice’ and ‘Exposure’ at Berkeley art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. This was 6 years after Hickey's death.
