Queuing is a big part of attending any film festival. I went to see Anna Brownfield's Making it handmade a wonderful doco about crafting subculture in Melbourne. Check out Anna's blog post to learn more about the movie. If you get a chance to see it do. Some keywords about the movie to leave you with: subversive, crafty, thought-provoking and enpowering. The doco features some amazing women who craft for many different reasons.
