Meanwhile in Turkey
Concept / Premise: “Meanwhile, in Turkey” is a short film about the agency of Turkish women in a time of political and social unease. It is also a story about labor and love. Finally, it is about the heart-opening effect of making something beautiful with your hands.
Of course the paradox is that without the world of on-line blogs and web feeds we may never have met the wonderful women who led us to our subjects: three women artisans in Turkey. These are women who carry on traditions handed down to them from generations of mothers teaching daughters.
