PAUL MULDOON: LAOITHE ‘S LIRICÍ/A LIFE IN LYRICS

NEW YORK PREMIERE Charting the remarkable journey of poet and wordsmith Paul Muldoon, this film weaves his life’s chapters through the artistry of renowned actors, musicians, and artists. From his humble roots in Ireland through prestigious positions at institutions like Oxford and Princeton, Muldoon’s story unfolds like a vivid tapestry. The lyrical narrative features a star-studded cast — Ruth Negga, Liam Neeson, Bono, and Paul McCartney — reciting and singing Muldoon’s gorgeous writings. A visually engaging, artfully constructed masterpiece that celebrates the beauty of language. – Karen McMullen 

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Alan Gilsenan and writer/subject Paul Muldoon.
