The film 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. It heals him as it does us.
THE PECULIAR SENSATION OF BEING PAT INGOLDSBY is directed by Seamus Murphy and produced by Tom Burke with backing from Screen Ireland.
