>>>9 OCTOBER SCREENING: The Nettle Dress<<<
meet & knit in the 1st Floor Lounge from 7.30pm, film starts around 8pm

Allan Brown makes a dress by hand just from the fibre of foraged stinging nettles over 7 years. A modern day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft. The film is a handspun labour of love too and follows him every step of the way.

>>>13 NOVEMBER SCREENING: Woman Grows Jeans<<<
meet & knit in the 1st Floor Lounge from 7.30pm, film starts around 8pm

When an ambitious experiment between a textile activist and a celebrity clothier meets inevitable challenges, one woman is propelled into an initiation that makes British fashion history. 
In a country buying 70 million pairs a year, Woman Grows Jeans journeys into our resilient ancestry to reclaim the care and agency that’s key to regeneration. What unfolds is a tender, radical act of reconnection: to land, lineage, and the almost lost skills of the ‘more-than-human’ world.
After 600 hours, the UK’s only pair of homegrown jeans were handmade – not as a relic, but as a signpost toward the future our hearts know is possible.
A celebration of the traditional skills that reconnect us to nature’s wisdom, Woman Grows Jeans is an uplifting film about what it really means to rewild our world, our wardrobes and ourselves. For anyone who’s ever wondered if a different future is possible, this pioneering story shows that
the power to create change is still in our hands.

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.
