Voices of Impact Film Series: Farming Flax in Ireland
Join us for a screening of the short documentary “Lint & Linen: Farming Flax in Ireland”
Tthis Irish linen documentary shows the growing of flax and the making of Irish linen. It recreates the flax harvest of the 1950’s in the North of Ireland. It follows a team of local men who plant a field of flax as their fathers would have done a generation before.
You’ll see the process from growing to being spun into yarn, and finally being made into a piece of Irish Linen woven from the field of flax.
We aim to open a dialogue about sustainable fibres and sustainable fashion, and whether we need to return to older materials and techniques for a more sustainable future.
