A film about wool and a sheep named Cow.

To sit alongside Farnham Malting's renown unravel... autumn, join us for a screening of Sheep, Actually, a charming look into wool manufacturing, crafting, and the creatures who make it possible.

It started with the first photo filmmaker Paul Wyatt ever took: a blurred sheep's nose on a school trip when he was just nine. This lifelong love of animals and a deep-seated curiosity to understand their lives drove him to make “Sheep, Actually”.

He opens the film with a thought-provoking proposition: "If you’re going to work with wool, get to know how a sheep lives. Take a walk and meet the sheep." In the film, Wyatt does just that, taking viewers on an insightful journey to understand the origins and creation of wool, from the lives of sheep to the work of London farmers and makers.

​“I believe the lives of these remarkable animals are not as well understood as they should be,” says filmmaker Paul Wyatt. “I wanted to create a way for people to see them—and be encouraged to learn more about their lives beyond the film.”

​Beneath its woolly surface, “Sheep, Actually” is a surprising and deeply human look at where animals, people, and making meet.

BRING YOUR YARN! The 11am and 3pm screenings of Sheep Actually will be dimly lit in the auditorium, to allow audiences if they wish to bring along a crochet project, thier knitting, or any other reasonabily mess-free craft to work on while they watch the documentary!

Subject to confirmation: the 8pm screening may be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Paul Wyatt and other guests.
