Colours as bright as nature
We have joined the four short films into one feature-length documentary. It is most impressive to watch the film in the cinema. DCP or Blu-ray can be hired directly from us.
New documentary series
Farben so bunt wie die Natur
Natural colours fascinate with their luminosity, their variety and their harmony. Long before synthetic dyes were invented, people dyed with roots, leaves, blossoms or snails. Our documentaries tell the stories of people who preserve and carry on the knowledge of natural dyeing – in Türkiye, in Germany, in Mexico and the south of France.
- Nature's colour pot The DOBAG project in Türkiye
- Colour Rush Dieter Kaiser's dyeing workshop
- Purple of the Mixtecs The purple tradition in Mexico
- Purpurissum Inge Boesken Kanold's quest
