THE PECULIAR SENSATION OF BEING PAT INGOLDSBY
DIRECTOR: SEAMUS MURPHY
IRELAND | 94 MINUTES | 2022

Q&A with Seamus Murphy. The film maker will be present. 

Seamus Murphy’s documentary examines Irish writer Pat Ingoldsby’s unique world. Ingoldsby’s poems and candid anecdotes bear witness to a visceral relationship with his beloved Dublin, fellow Dubliners and anything that catches his interest.
Personal challenges, a sensitive humanity and a lifetime as a maverick have taught him to harness reality and reach well beyond it to avenge the banal with absurd magic.
