A thousand strands, one at a time

Two pairs of hands, one loom, and a mat that takes a day. The sedge is dyed, split, and beaten into place entirely by hand.

About the film

The films

01 in production

What this is

Woven in Asia films the makers of Asia — the craft, the rituals and the living traditions behind a considered life — and brings the objects they make to the people who understand them.

01

Film first

Documentary films about materials, hands, and the slow work of making. Not travel content. The real practice, filmed at the depth it deserves.

02

Objects with provenance

Every object arrives with the story of the hands that made it — the village, the material, the years of practice behind the form.

03

Rooted here

Vietnam first, then the region. Told from inside the culture, not observed from outside it. The makers are the protagonists.
