The Alphabeticians is a documentary film about the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop. Having inherited the workshop from her husband, David Kindersley MBE, Lida Cardozo Kindersley poured her soul into her work for nearly half a century. Lida now prepares for the next step; to hand the workshop on to her son and daughter-in-law. The Alphabeticians explores this transition and offers an insight into themes relevant to all of us: what is the role and significance of the handmade today? And what is the legacy we will, or want to, pass on to the future?
