Sterne International — Reweaving Academy | Cinematography by Vitaly Kazanin
Read more
This film documents an initiative promoted by Sterne International: an academy designed to teach young women the ancient craft of reweaving and mending, with a concrete goal of professional placement and employment. The narrative stays close to hands, rhythm, and precision—small gestures that reveal the value of time, knowledge, and care.
Visually, the language is calm and premium, alternating gentle movement and deliberate stillness: subtle Ronin shots to accompany the process and create presence, combined with static frames that honor the craft and let the viewer read textures and details.
A major part of the work was set design—tables, fabrics, tools, and spatial order treated as storytelling elements—shaping an atmosphere that feels authentic, contemporary, and respectful of tradition. The result is a craft-forward branded documentary where design and technique support the message without overpowering it.
