Another fantastic Süha Arın documentary, lovingly in-depth, about various types of ancient craftsmanship that are dying out in the modern world. It’s an episode from the series Old Houses, Old Masters. As the title indicates, this is all about wood, from construction to grave markers to prayer beads to violins.

Quote:
Wandering from Demirkoy and Gonuk to Yuruk, Boyabit, Sinop and Gerze, and finally to Tokat and Amasya, the film pauses to document various building types – dovetailed logs, timber frames filled in with mud-brick, the decorative carvings, slate roofs and the unique red ochre paint of Sinop. A grandiose restored mansion was opened in Tokat in 1987. All too often the old houses are being pulled down, the exquisitely carved timbers used as firewood.

“Fatma of the Forest”, documentary,reflects life, longings and a major “fear” in the subconscious of a 12-years old “woodcutter” girl living under very hard conditions in the forest of Toros Mountains at an altitude of approximately 2000 m. The documentary, aiming to symbolize a little-known but common practice of child labour, accomplishes a dramatic portrayal of laborers who work for Ministery of Forestry totally deprived of social security.

When the Fog is Swept Away, The Houses and Craftsmen of Old (Eastern Black Sea Region) is documenting rapidly vanishing old houses and craftsmen for the new generations.

In the mountainous eastern Black Sea region, the nail-less dovecoting construction of old log cabin houses gave flexibility to withstand earthquakes. Sites in villages like Savsat were chosen both for their protection from snow and avalanches, and built on the poorest soil to leave the meagre arable areas for cultivation. In Ikizdere there are still stone and half-timbered structures. All these spacious homes are notable for their interior panelled walls and ceiling, elaborately carved and embellished. Various other techniques in Sumene and Rize are illustrated.
