"Emotional repair through wool.
Visible Mending reclaims the role knitting plays in many peoples’ lives;
helping them face adversity, calm anxiety, and make crucial social connections.
A group of knitted objects tell stories about how they have used knitting to
mend themselves, even if the repair was temporary.
Animated documentary director Sam Moore (
An Eyeful of Sound,
Bloomers) was
awarded a commission from the BFI Short Form Animation Fund to make
Visible
Mending, about love, death, and knitting, produced by Tilley Bancroft through
MediaActive Projects. Executive producers are Sue Gainsborough (MediaActive
Projects) and Abigail Addison (Animate Projects).
The film is made using stop motion animation at Second Home Studios in
Birmingham. The interviewees are all represented by a knitted or crocheted
object of their choice, and their collaboration in representation is a vital
part of the film."
Via Muse, who wrote "This is just the sweetest little animated documentary!"
