the 4 stages

Stage one: the short documentary ‘the wool islands’. This first documentary is an introduction to the Faroese culture. Our knitwear, fashion, wool and sheep.

Stage two: podcasts about sheep, wool and knitting on the Faroe Islands

Stage three/four: a more in-depth and thorough documentary about Faroese culture. The first documentary was only a brief introduction. The second one will be much longer, it will teach us more about how things were and why. Looking at our past, we will find solutions to our present problems. We can learn more from our forefathers than we care to admit. We might not get ourselves out of the huge problems that we are in. But by being more aware and showing more concern, we could slow down the speed. The second documentary will make us more aware. This documentary will be in Faroese - with english subtitles.

Stage three/four: a collection of ‘Lesull’ (wool that the sheep sheds in the spring). During spring and summer, when the sheep start shedding wool, the wool they shed is a threat to wild birds. The tufts of wool lying, or flying, about in nature wraps around the birds legs. This makes it difficult for them to move about, hence they are in danger.

Donate

These initiatives are all costly. Hence I have to get funding. I’m certain, that the short documentary (stage one) will help get more funding. But everyone, who cares for this project or finds it worth supporting, is more than welcome to help. Whatever you feel that you can contribute with - funds, ideas, hard work - will be welcome.
