THE NETTLE DRESS - A conversation with Dylan Howitt & Allan Brown - DocLands 2023

DocLands Film Festival 2023 presents a conversation with director Dylan Howitt and film subject Allan Brown, moderated by DocLands Programmer Joanne Feinberg.

About the film:
Unfolding like a magical, modern-day fairytale, this beautiful and intimate story follows the seven-year endeavor by textile artist Allan Brown, after the death of his beloved wife, to weave a hand-spun dress from stinging nettles foraged in the woods surrounding his home. An exquisite journey through loss, grief, and healing.
