My girlfriend's in this film. I've seen a portion of it and it's really good. This is your only chance to see it in Los Angeles.... THIS WEEKEND.
watch the trailer below.
In 2006, artist and first-time director Faythe Levine traveled 19,000 miles to document today's burgeoning craft scene, one packed with inventive creators and designers no longer interested in simply cross-stitching samplers or painting floral scrolls on china! This scene has emerged as a marriage between historical technique, punk culture, and the D.I.Y. ethos, and Handmade Nation is a warm and funny celebration the weird, the woolly, and the one-of-a-kind. The film is a time capsule of sorts, capturing the craft explosion through firsthand interviews with makers like papercut artist Nikki McClure, the Rhode Island-based feminist art collective The Dirt Palace, X-rated latch hook creator Whitney Lee, and Houston's yarn-based graffiti crew Knitta. In addition to The Cinefamily, the L.A. premiere of Handmade Nation is also brought to you in conjunction with ReForm School and Home Ec.!
Dir. Faythe Levine, 2009, DVD, 65 min.
Saturday's 12pm premiere screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director, and ticket holders for this show will receive specialized gift bags and surprise giveaways! In-between the two Saturday screenings, during 2-6pm, there will be a mini-craft fair eaturing some of LA's most talented makers, a "Handmade Nation" book signing with Faythe Levine, and hands-on make-and-takes (craft demos). Admission to the craft fair is free, and open to the general public.
