Yarn: The Movie
September 9 - 15 I Bíó Paradís, Hverfisgata 54 (E5) I Admission: 1,400 ISK
With a title like ‘Yarn: The Movie’, it is not difficult to dis-
cern what Compass Films’ latest documentary is going to be
about. So let’s start with what it is not about. ‘Yarn’ is not a
historical piece. The filmmakers came up with the idea dur-
ing a discussion over “what would be the next ‘trend,’” direc-
tor Una Lorenzen explains. ‘Yarn’ is not territorial. The film
focuses on four artists, was shot in eleven countries and has
had screenings in eight countries, so far. And finally, ‘Yarn’
not a film about your grandmother’s inspiring doily collec-
tion. The film is steeped in pressing social issues, especially
regarding femininity and the role of females in the art world.
Our full article on the film, with interviews with the director
and co-producers can be viewed online. PY
