Join us for the premiere of Wool, a film by Daniel Edward Allen & Patrick Tubin McGinley, as part of the 16th annual World Film Festival, at the Estonian National Museum!
Wool is a short film that looks at, and listens to, the machines in an unmodernised wool mill in south Estonia. We learn a little about the process that turns raw wool into yarn and observe the two men who work in the factory, although this is neither a process nor a biographical film. Rather it focuses on the sensory experiences that are possible in this space, showing machinery and methods that could soon fall into disuse in a country that is striving for progress.
Wool will be presented as the 3rd of 3 short films in the free noon screening in the main cinema hall. the other two films are ‘Future Factory’, by Lana Askari (Iraq), and ‘Harbour of the Past’, by Lotte Haase (Netherlands).
