Synopsis

One of the defining musicians of his generation, Patrick Wolf first found fame in noughties London. Shapeshifting between avant-garde artist and queer popstar, he was a maverick of his time. All until 2012, when his life fell spectacularly to pieces and music became a painful memory. A decade of silence followed which saw Patrick confront immense addiction battles making him creatively incapable of finishing a song, ultimately leading him to escape the city that had both shaped and shattered him. HOWLS TO THE HARBOUR finds Patrick in his newfound home on the East coast of Kent, four years into recovery and beginning work on his first album in over thirteen years – all from his garden recording studio, surrounded by instruments, relics from his past and cats Ronnie and Percy. Directed by Tribeca Festival & BAFTA Cymru award-winner Christian Cargill, the film is a portrait of an artist, connecting with creativity again after redefining their meaning of home.
