Yarn -- The Movie

"The Movie Yarn Shows That Knitting and Crocheting Can Create Stunning Works of Art"

I just saw this review by Kristin Hohenadel of the new documentary Yarn: The Movie  by Montreal-based Icelandic director Una Lorenzen published 16 Jun 2016 online in Slate. The article has some beautiful still photos and discusses the fiber artists featured in the film -- Brooklyn-based Polish crochet artist Olek; Icelandic wool graffiti artist Tinna Thorudottir Thorvaldar; Japanese Canada-based artist Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam of Net Play Works who stitches giant “textile playgrounds” in public spaces around the world; and Tilde Björfors, the founder of the contemporary Swedish circus company Cirkus Cikör .

Where to see the film?

First screened in Sweden at the Goteberg Film Festival in January 2016 and in the U.S. at SXSW in March 2016, information on upcoming and future screenings and tickets shows the next screening is June 24 2016 at IFC Center, New York, NY. Screenings are currently scheduled around the country. I'd love to see this in Buffalo, NY - currently not on the schedule.
