To know by hands

To Know by Hands follows the working hands of two handicrafters in Troms. The film takes place in the summer of 2023, giving an insight into use of natural materials in handicraft. At a cabin in Lyngen we meet Trine, dyeing wool with materials found in the area. At a store in Sørkjosen we meet the duojár Hilde and get a peek into her use of fish skin as leather. Through a personal and sensorial approach, the film encourages reflections on our relation to our natural environment. Furthermore, the film touches on themes such as the connection between cultural knowledge and relations to our environment.
