What happens when art is taken out of museums and galleries? Değirmendere is the perfect spot to ask this question. "How to Shape a Town?" documents the wood sculpture symposium that was held in Değirmendere, Turkey for the last 22 years and the effect it had on the little town. We watch as six sculptors bring large pieces of timber to life and witness the transformative power art has on societies.
