A total of 32 thousand kilometers were covered. Thanks to this diversity, many different motifs and local features were brought to the fore.
The documentary featured individual weavers, public education centers and workshops. Our documentary was broadcast in 3 episodes on TRT Belgesel channel last year. Now, it will begin to be broadcast on the in-flight entertainment system of Turkish Airlines, one of the most important brands in Turkey, where millions of people travel. Our documentary will be included in the system starting from June.” he said.
Pointing out that the documentary contributes economically and socially to Turkish carpet weaving, Ahmet Hayri Diler said, “Turkey, which is a carpet country, should focus more on this issue. According to the field research, 20 thousand weavers are still interested in this profession. However, new touches are needed for this profession to move forward. We aim to raise this awareness with our work. We recorded our timeless carpet motifs that the world admires with this documentary. Now we continue our work to move this profession forward. We must say that our cooperation with Turkish Airlines (THY) is promising for our industry. Our efforts will continue to make our documentary reach more people.” said.
