A fascinating arts documentary about one of Ireland’s most celebrated artists, Imogen Stuart, who is busy creating in her mid 90’s. Her grandson Emile Dinneen has spent that last 13 years filming with this inspiring woman.
After growing up in an artistic half-Jewish family in Berlin during WWII – where her father captured remarkable film footage – Imogen met a young Irish sculptor student Ian Stuart. They fell in love and moved to Ireland. Ian Stuart was the grandson of Maud Gonne, and Imogen resided in their family home in Laragh Co. Wicklow. Over the following 70 years, Imogen Stuart has created her own life and an extraordinary body of work, which are located all over the island of Ireland and beyond. This unique, personal film tells Imogen’s remarkable life story which has straddled two worlds, giving us a intimate window in to how she has coped with loss and tragedy while sharing her views on family, art, religion and the meaning of life
