Series: MCIS film collection
Place of publication: IFF
Number of pages: 16
Description: Here is a fascinating and pertinent study of the ageless art of weaving. This process is not simply an art of the Pushtu wives traditionally assigned to the role of weavers - it is a practical craft vital to their tribe's survival. An appreciation of the artistry and fine craftsmanship of these Pushtu weavers is immediately felt - as they are seen working the crude portable wooden looms which date back to the days of Genghis Khan, and which even today are used throughout most of the mountains of Central Asia.
