Sheep, Actually (U)
Baa! This month’s Knitflix screening is appropriately sheep-themed. From fleece to fashion house; the origins and journey of wool.
Sheep Actually started with the first photo filmmaker Paul Wyatt ever took: a blurred sheep's nose on a school trip when he was just nine. This lifelong love of animals and a deep-seated curiosity to understand their lives drove Wyatt to make this film.
It opens a thought-provoking proposition: "If you’re going to work with wool, get to know how a sheep lives. Take a walk and meet the sheep." In the film, Wyatt does just that, taking viewers on an insightful journey to understand the origins and creation of wool, from the lives of sheep to the work of London farmers and makers.
Every month, Knitflix invites crafters and knitters to enjoy a relaxed 'lights-up' screening of the latest new releases and fashion based films in the comfort of the Electric Palace. Co-curated by Beryl Bailey in partnership with Flock, St Leonards' knitting and wool shop.
