Are You KİLİM Me?
People and landscapes wrapped in Turkish KİLİMS. Touching the body, the fabric leaves its function behind and takes a new form.
Story
An experimental short that brings traditional motifs together with modern techniques. The frames switch between high-quality sequences and VHS footage.
Director's statement
What excites me most is how the film plays with the function and form of the kilim. Interacting with the human body, the fabric transforms and takes on new shapes, challenging what a kilim can be.
We consciously used sustainable, eco-friendly materials in making these kilims, so that the exploration of tradition and modernity stays grounded in care for the environment.
