Made in the West (US)
Narrated by country music icon Tanya Tucker, this documentary celebrates the functional art and enduring craftsmanship of the American West while exploring what is at stake, as many of today’s master artisans age out of their crafts. Through intimate portraits of contemporary craftspeople, the one-hour film examines a tradition of creating functional works of art that people can sit on, drink from, or wear, as well as pass down to subsequent generations, all influenced by the landscapes, wildlife, materials, and culture of the West.
The film also celebrates the impact of Indigenous artists and influential figures of the past who helped define the Western aesthetic, including William F. Cody as Buffalo Bill and designer Thomas Molesworth, whose influence can still be seen in the materials, imagery, and traditions embraced by Western artisans today. But the future of this uniquely American art form is uncertain. As master artisans grow older, questions remain about whether their knowledge, techniques, and creative legacies will be preserved, and who will carry them forward.
This film encourages future generations of artisans to explore the pride that comes from skilled handiwork and the fulfillment of creating something lasting with their own hands. And, at a time of fast fashion and fast furniture, it invites viewers to slow down and appreciate the patience, skill, and attention to detail behind something made by hand, and reveals how practical objects become enduring works of art.
