“I don’t go looking for subject matter really. It’s what I read or come across. I don’t really differentiate between what I read and watch and experience and the work I do. It all feeds into it. Sometimes there are ideas that are with me for years and then other ones I do simply because I’m asked to. But I never work on something that I’m not very interested in.”

    PAT COLLINS Ireland, 2017

    With elements of fiction and documentary, Pat Collins celebrates the art of Sean-nós singing through an atypical, poetic portrait of traditional Irish folk singer Joe Heaney. Told in fragments and sumptuous B&W cinematography, this work of stirring beauty is an ode to the sublime power of singing.
