The Alphabeticians

"A Master Lettercutter Passing On Her Craft"

Documentary
The Alphabeticians is a cinematic observational documentary following a turning point in the life of Lida Cardozo Kindersley, who runs the UK’s leading workshop of letter cutting in stone. Lida has poured her soul into the workshop, which she inherited from her husband and former teacher David, for nearly half a century. Approaching seventy, she is preparing to hand the workshop on to her apprentices. This time of change offers a portal to deeper themes: what significance do heritage crafts have today? What legacies are we passing to future generations? Sifting symbolism and memory, the film shares a lasting reminder of the power of relationships and the resilience of creative spirit.
