A series of 12 original half-hour documentaries, presenting traditional arts and techniques in the 21st century, filmed in various parts of Greece. The young protagonist Christos Zacharof travels from Corfu and Paramythia to Lesvos and Patmos, Geraki, Laconia and Lagkadia, Arcadia, to Alexandroupoli and the villages in the Rhodope mountains, places where economically viable traditional professions are still practiced, most of which are included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.
Christos attempts to learn the secrets of marble craftsmanship, wooden shipbuilding, silversmithing, or knitting in the places where they are practiced, working alongside the craftsmen. Along with Christos, the viewer of the documentary also experiences the struggle, difficulties, and peculiarities of each art!
Today:
"Craftsment of Stone and Stone Buildings in Pentalofos, Kozani" (With English Subtitles)
The craftsmen from Zoumpani were known throughout Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean for their unattainable technique and their ability to build using local stones wherever they were working. They could build from houses and public buildings to bridges and cobbled streets.
In the first episode of the new season of “Meet the Craftsmen”, Hera searches for those craftsmen and the remnants of their work all over Pentalofos and the villages of Voio.
While conversing with those who continue to practice the art of carving stone, she realizes that there is a philosophy of life behind stone craftsmanship and the use of stone in construction.
Together with Hera, the viewer will get an idea of traditional construction techniques but mainly will discover the way each craftsman sees their material, the stone. At the same time, the viewer will wonder about the future of this skill and the traditional stone building.
