Wizards of Wood

This documentary visits the Zafimaniry people on the northwest coast of Madagascar, the last guardians of an extraordinary woodcarving tradition. Renowned for their delicate, intricate craft, they preserve knowledge passed down through many generations of skilled artisans. The film follows the woodworkers at their craft and explores the pressures that threaten to erase a unique heritage. Patient and quietly moving, it is a heartfelt tribute to artistry, memory and cultural survival. It lingers with anyone who values traditional skill and the people who keep it alive.
