About
Strata: Portraits of Humanity, September 2017 (Naval power of Athens; traditional scarf of Iran)
(1) Following the all-important Battle of Salamis in 480 BC, Athenians came into the golden age of their naval bases. This film describes in drawings the scope of naval operations which made ancient Athens a naval superpower. (2) The kayeh is a kind of colorful scarf, traditionally worn around infants’ and small children’s heads. This film shows the process of making the kayeh as practiced by an old woman (the filmmaker’s grandmother!) from Gerash, a small town in the south of Iran.
