Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope is a 43-min ethnographic video about changes in Macedonian folk culture caused by the countryÂ’s
endeavors to cope in todayÂ’s global world. This film portrays the stories of handcrafters whose traditions are
disappearing. Kaleidoscope then explores the stories of contemporary urban artists in Macedonia who have taken up traditional elements as a base in their creative expressions. Kaleidoscope challenges the role of tradition and memory in fostering a sense of national identity and the effect that a transition from socialism to capitalism has on cultural production and consumption.
