Julie Ballands, 3 mins, 2007, animation

Julie Ballands worked with knitting groups across Newcastle's West End exploring their own history of regeneration and re-regeneration in this unique mix of wool-based animation and documentary. The beautiful woolen terraces are those captured by the Scotswood Road photographer Jimmy Forsyth, who died last year. Knitting Together was originally commissioned under Northern Film + Media's Capture scheme. SIDETV NEWCASTLE MONTH
