Running time: 95 mins

Directed by Horia Augustin Dumitra
A candid portrait of one of Ireland's most beloved cartoonists and one of Dublin's last bohemian, arty characters, Tom Mathews as he reaches 70.
“The film seeks to immortalise not only Tom as he currently is, but also some of the Dublin and Galway art scenes, animated by assorted artists from Tom's circle - painters, poets, cartoonists, musicians, comedians, writers, journalists. In many ways, it’s a film about a world on its way out, that of the bohemian Dublin artist; about an artform on its way out, that of cartooning; about death in general, as well as the death of press.” Horia Augustin Dumitra
