SEAMUS MURPHY TOOK PJ HARVEY ON THE ROAD… AND THE RESULT IS BRILLIANTLY UNIQUE

By Melissa Chemam

Irish photographer and filmmaker Seamus Murphy had a flawless career in photojournalism that took him all over the world, from Afghanistan to the Balkans and more recently Syria. 

Then one day a musician crossed his path and they decided to work together. He hadn’t listened to her music much… but she was very keen to try collaborating. 

That musician was PJ Harvey and their work gave a few unexpected promo music videos (in 2010) and now a music documentary. ‘A Dog Called Money’ is much more that a music film though, it is a film about creativity, this troubled world and about how we learn to relate to one another. 

A profoundly touching and reflective piece of work. 

I spoke to Seamus just before the cinema release on 1^st November.
