"Felt, Feelings and Dreams"


Since the Soviet Union collapsed, unemployment and alcoholism have ravaged the former Republic of Kyrgystan. "Felt, Feelings, and Dreams" (documentary) follows a small group of Kyrgyz women who pull themselves from crushing poverty by reviving ancient traditions of making crafts from felt.

Set against this regions' stunningly beautiful and harsh landscape, "Felt, Feelings, and Dreams" explores the women's feelings about their work. The friendships they make, the daughters they get closer to, the children they can now feed.


"Felt, Feelings, and Dreams" is a celebration of perserverance, courage, and spirit! *winner of two NYSCA grants: 2008 for Production (documentary) and 2011 Individual Artist Grant (documentary).

Award winning Editor, Kathryn Barnier, is editing and producing "Felt, Feelings and Dreams."
