Documentary

Guggi

18+

Internationally acclaimed artist, Guggi, rose from the anarchic post-punk energy of Dublin’s late-1970s music scene, but abandoned performance to pursue a solitary artisitic path. Filmed over multiple years with unprecedented access, the documentary follows Guggi through the quiet rituals of creation. Long-time friends Bono and Gavin Friday offer intimate recollections of their shared upbringing in a city shaped by religion, poverty and creativity while other artists contextualise his immense influence on contemporary Irish art. More than a biography, the film meditates on the necessity of art, exploring how a life shaped by trauma finds meaning through discipline, quietness and creation.
