Posted: 7th June 2019
The 2019 Sheffield Doc/Fest is now underway with several Screen Ireland-supported projects selected to take part, including Seamus Murphy's A Dog Called Money receiving its UK premiere on Saturday, 8th June in Official Selection.
Sheffield Doc/Fest is the UK’s leading documentary festival, celebrating the art and business of documentary and all non-fiction storytelling. The festival also plays host to the MeetMarket, the world's largest documentary and factual markets and the festival's flagship pitching opportunity,
As imaginative as the creative process it documents, A Dog Called Money is a uniquely intimate journey through the inspiration, writing and recording of a PJ Harvey record. Produced by Blinder Films, A Dog Called Money received its world premiere at the Berlinale in February 2019.
