Film Screening: Handmade Nation

                                    The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft and Design


Faythe Levine traveled 19,000 miles to document what has emerged as a marriage between historical technique, punk culture, and the d.i.y. ethos.  For HANDMADE NATION she and Cortney Heimerl have selected 24 makers and 5 essayists who work within different media and have different methodologies to provide a microcosm of the crafting community.  Participants in this community share ideas and encouragement through websites, blogs, boutiques, galleries, and craft fairs.  Together they have forged a new economy and lifestyle based on creativity, determination, and networking.



Q&A WITH DIRECTOR FAYTHE LEVINE



Directly following the screening of her movie, Handmade Nation, Director Faythe Levine will sit down with the audience for a question and answer session about her journey, the people she has interviewed, the indie-craft movement and the d.i.y. community.
