The idea of the forgotten short documentary films is to start depending on crafts and professions in Egypt, which are forgotten by time. Maybe after 5 years these crafts won't exist in our daily lives anymore. That's why I wanted to record some of these crafts as a memory in our film, I also wanted to discover and show the dramatic part of these workers.

For three centuries, farmers living in the remote mountains of northern Turkey have communicated great distances by whistling. It’s a language called kuş dili that is still used to this day, though fewer people are learning it in the age of the cell phone. It’s also known as bird language, for obvious reasons. Muazzez Köçek lives in Kuşköy, and she is the best whistler in her village. Muazzez shows us how she uses varied pitch frequencies and melodies to translate Turkish vocabulary into whistles with meaning.
