Tim Robinson Connemara

Filmmaker Pat Collins and cartographer and author Tim Robinson may have been viewed as kindred souls; sharing a profound, lyrical, and heartfelt connection to the Irish landscape, its mythical properties, and the innumerable stories it has to tell us. Their joint sensibilities inform Collins’s documentary portrait, inspired by the late Robinson’s acclaimed trilogy of books exploring the wilds of his beloved Connemara, and described by the filmmaker himself as “an intersection between writing, filmmaking, and the natural world.” It makes for a deeply immersive viewing experience, one that pinpoints Collins as a choice Irish torchbearer for the global Slow Cinema movement.
