A beautiful film about Linen
Posted by Creative Review, 25 November 2010, 15:53 Permalink Comments (3)

Documentary films about the textile industry are not exactly the staple of this site but we'll make an exception for French director and designer Benoit Millot's lovely film about linen
The film was commissioned by the CELC which is, we're sure you know, the European Flax and Hemp Confederation, and explains how this most ancient of textiles goes from field to fashion. We particularly liked the graphics introducing each section.

Not just stunning to watch, but also with a wonderfully engaging narrative. Simple storytelling at its best. Something that's often missed.
The french accents just add extra elegance and seem to turn it into an arthouse piece :)

Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not sure I'd call it art house as such but it is an engaging, well scripted and beautifully shot bit of film.
Here's to natural fabrics and less rubbish produced by chemical companies.
