Sheep Actually & Talk by Director Paul Wyatt

  • Forres Tollbooth 80 High Street Forres, Scotland, IV36 1AE United Kingdom (map)

Filmmaker Paul Wyatt's quest to understand Britain's enduring fascination with sheep and learn more about these fascinating animals led him on an unexpected and woolly adventure. ​

In London, he met talented makers, discovered the vital green spaces of London City Farms, and connected with sheep experts. The film uncovers a surprising universe right in the heart of the capital, from encountering the multi-horned Manx sheep and hardy Herdwicks, to the deer-like Castlemilk Moorits.

Join Paul and his camera as he explores the craft and effort involved in working with wool, from the farm to the finished product. The film features Justine Lee, fashion designer and author of The Wonder of Wool: A Knitter's Guide to Pure Breed Sheep” , textile artist Remiiya Badru, weaver Majeda Clarke, the Yarn Whisperer Andrew Kite, as well as farmers, shearers, producers and many others who work with wool.

​Most importantly, prepare to meet Cow–who, despite the name, is most certainly a sheep, not a cow.
