Do you love to craft outside the comfort of your living room?

Do you love crafting with like minded people?

Do you love watching great films?

Well... this event could be for you. Joy of Yarn has partnered with the Light House Cuba Cinema to bring you a monthly 'Light's Up Crafting' film screening.

What's a Light's Up Crafting event you ask... it's the screening of a movie but with the lights left brighter than usual to enable you to knit/crochet/craft while watching the movie.

Our Light's Up sessions will be on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 5.30pm at Light House Cinema Cuba, 29 Wigan Street, Te Aro. The movie will start at 5.45pm. Tickets are $22.00 per seat and must be purchased through the Joy of Yarn website. If you are entitled to a Senior or Student discount, which brings the seat price down to $15.50, please email james to book your ticket and arrange payment.

Our movie for June is... The Christophers!

The latest film from one of cinema’s most prolific directors, Steven Soderbergh (Black Bag, Ocean’s Eleven), The Christophers is a richly comedic exploration of art and legacy led by a magnetic paring of Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel (Mother Mary).

Close to completely giving up on her artistic career, Lori (Coel) works out of a food truck whenever she’s not doing freelance restoration. But when she gets approached by the estranged children of renowned painter Julian Sklar (McKellen) with an offer to forge his abandoned paintings so they can collect the inheritance once he passes, she accepts. Ingratiating herself into Julian’s life under the guise of being an assistant, Lori’s ruse makes way for a constant battle of wits, twists, and shifting allegiances as they delve into deviousness to reveal thorny truths about artistic integrity.

"The double act of McKellen and Coel has the onscreen chemistry of the year"
