The Persian carpet -- from "farsh", meaning "to spread" -- is an essential part of Persian art and culture. Carpet-weaving is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished manifestations of Persian culture and art, and dates back to ancient times. Conceived first among the nomadic tribes as a household necessity for the harsh winters, the Persian carpet has evolved into a marvellous vehicle of artistic expression noted particularly for its vivid colours and motifs. In this episodic film, fifteen filmmakers were allowed to choose their particular subjects and narrative forms. The formats include music video, art video, documenatry, animation and fiction, and the episodes are set in different cities aroun Iran.
