A Thousand Knitting Needles Falling Down a Well
Nick Duffy & Anne Marie Carty (2008)

Directors Nick Duffy and Anne Marie Carty join the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain to reflect on 21 years of aimless strumming. The film, which debuted at the Cornish International Film Festival in 2008, gets down and intimate with the members of the orchestra as they talk about their music, their lives, the strange allure of the uke, and why they're so damned popular.

Kullaberg
Jacob Stålhammar (2006)

Swedish alt-folk margave Jens Lekman first mentioned his idea to film songs out in the wild of Kullaberg in the spring of 2005.  The area is a unique area of overgrown post-industrial landscape near Gothenburg, and Stålhammar caught Lekman and his colleague Sarah Assbring (aka El Perro del Mar) in wonderful surroundings with their songs stripped back to basics, and with ukulele taking centre stage.  Cameras were borrowed, snacks provided by Lekman's parents, and the weather drew some hungry biting insects. A simply lovely film.

Ukulele
Tim Beers and Wade White (2007)

How far can the love of a man and his ukulele go?
As it turns out, pretty far.

Herbert inherits his father's beloved ukulele and that should be the end of it. But his desire to learn leads to infatuation, infatuation leads to obsession, and obsession leads to a place no musical instrument should ever have to journey.

From the writing and directorial debut of Tim Beers and Wade White comes this quirky tale of love, jealousy, and of course rocking ukulele music!
