Colors are Speaking
The film aims at recording the process of natural dyeing of navy blue color in a Safavid workshop in Kashan city; one of the oldest centers of the textile industry in the world. Furthermore, it also planned documenting the dwindling number of natural dyeing masters of the city.
This traditional job is in danger of extinction and our goals is, on the one hand, to demonstrate the difficulties of being a natural dyeing expert and on the other hand to look to find a solution to prevent the extinction of this traditional jobs in the county. This would be an important step towards nature preservation by protecting it from the danger of chemical dyes entering into nature.
