SEAMUS MURPHY'S FILM PORTRAIT OF PAT
(April 2024) Seamus Murphy's film portrait of Pat showing on RTÉ 1 on Monday April 1st 2024. Seamus writes: The Irish Independent wrote: “ A genuinely stunning work of art. Beautifully shot; beguilingly lit; practically every second was a visual poem in itself.” The film was made possible with funding from Screen Ireland and had a successful cinema release in Ireland. I wanted the film to celebrate Pat’s life- his unique writing, his imagination, and his glorious connection with Dublin and Dubliners, the city he adores. I also wanted to illuminate little known details of his full and extraordinary life. The RTE 1 screening and its availability on RTE player reaches its widest possible Irish audience, something that Pat always strived for in his work. |

DUBLIN STREETS by LORCAN FINNEGAN
(published in 2022 by Lovely Productions) A wonderful and unique collection of photos taken on the streets of Dublin by film director and photographer Lorcan Finnegan. Lorcan asked Pat to write a foreword for it, here are the words Pat wrote: Stunning! Powerful! Majestic. The phenomenal photographs of a man who loves the same real, edgy, vibrant, energising city that I do. Never before, except when I was actually there, have I seen such a perfect evocation of the unapologetically real Dublin about which the iconic world of cultural cliches have not got a clue. Lorcan Finnegan - I salute you. Find out more at THE LIBRARY PROJECT www.thelibraryproject.ie/products/dublin-streets-2012-2022-lorcan-finnegan |
