Irvine Welsh
Kaleidoscope Entertainment confirms that "Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough," from award-winning documentary filmmaker Paul Sng, will have its World Premiere on Closing Night of Edinburgh International Film Festival, 20th August.
The film, narrated by Liam Neeson, Maxine Peake, Nick Cave, Ruth Negga and Stephen Graham, offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a prolific artist at work and play and will launch on UK cinemas in September.
Irvine Welsh is at a crossroads. After experiencing the huge success of several film adaptations and six million books sold worldwide, he has become acutely aware of his own mortality. Now, with his hedonistic days drawing to a close, the outspoken author decides to explore the boundaries of consciousness through a psychedelic DMT trip.
On choosing the Edinburgh International Film Festival for the World Premiere of "Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough", Director Paul Sng remarked “Irvine Welsh has remained an urgent and compelling voice in literature and film since the day he was first published. It’s been a joy and a pleasure working with one of the great storytellers of our time and we’re chuffed to launch the film in Edinburgh at this year’s EIFF.”
Irvine Welsh followed "When you grow up in a place, you're always kind of rebelling against it slightly. But Edinburgh is part of me and always will be, so I’m absolutely delighted that Reality Is Not Enough will have its World Premiere here".
