A FEATURE DOCUMENTARY BY DYLAN HOWITT
68 MINUTES | UK | 2023
✨Longlisted for the 2023 British Independent Film Awards in the Best Feature Documentary category✨
Please book your place via Eventbrite.
Join us for a screening of the documentary film The Nettle Dress followed by an open discussion.
“Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles.
This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion and also his medicine. It’s how he survives the death of his wife and finds a beautiful way to honour her.
A modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft.”
