Overview
Tbilisi Silk is a lyrical short film that explores the city of Tbilisi, the tradition of silk making in Georgia, the life cycle of the silk worm, and the restoration of the 19th century in Tbilisi State Silk Museum. The film freely explores these themes, alluding to their intersections and parallels. Tbilisi Silk incorporates archival footage from the National Film Archive in Tbilisi, and images from books found in the Silk Museum collection. In a metamorphosis similar to the silk worms, the museum is re-emerging restored to its former 19th century stature. This film is a collaboration between Stacey Steers and John Romano. Georgian title designed by Mariam Natroshvili.
