Today the North East based Provenance Films is delighted to announce that its critically acclaimed feature documentary Addicted to Sheep which had its World Premiere at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2015 and was nominated for the Environmental Award will be released in UK cinemas and celebrate its London Premiere on Friday 28th August at Picturehouse Central.
Addicted to Sheep is the feature debut of Director Magali Pettier which became an instant hit with sold out screenings at Sheffield Doc/Fest this summer. It is an intimate portrait of long, hard work in all weathers, everyday life and total commitment for a hill-farming family. In the North Pennines, devoted tenant farmers Tom and Kay Hutchinson spend their days looking after their flock of prized Swaledale sheep, and hoping that this will be the year they breed the perfect one. Tom said: “You do it for the way of life and because you love it. The local community is very close-knit, it’s a strong force and we all help each other out”.
