To celebrate the Edinburgh International Film Festival (which takes place 20 June - 01 July), this month our Craft Films will all have a cinematic theme to them, and will feature crafted characters, props and sets.

We start this mini-series with "The Little Red Plane", a beautiful piece by Charlotte Blacker, a stop motion animator who specialises in knitted sets and characters.

The Little Red Plane received the Royal Television Society Award in 2011. All of the knitting and crocheting in The Little Red Plane was done by hand: the plane was filmed using a green screen and the knitted sky and clouds were placed in on the computer.

Take a look at the film below, or view The Little Red Plane on YouTube.

Get involved

If you have an online craft film you would like to share, we would love to hear from you. We're looking for films that showcase craft makers, special craft projects/exhibitions, enterprises, or other fun and quirky films that help to celebrate craft. 

It could be a film of you at work, a narrated film about the inspiration behind your craft, a film made for an exhibition, or something else. 

Just email laura@craftscotland.org with the following details:

• A short description of the film, including any credits
• A link to the film on YouTube, Vimeo, or another channel
• Whether or not you have a profile page on Craft Scotland

You do not need to be on the Craft Scotland site to send us your films, but films about Scottish craft, makers and places will be given priority.

Alternatively, you can tweet a link to your craft film to @craftscotland.

Please note: at this stage we are not looking for instructional, 'how to' type videos for this feature.
