Was von der Liebe bleibt

Ilyas und Yasemin sind ein Liebespaar, seit fünfzehn Jahren. Dann geschieht etwas Entsetzliches: Aus dem Nichts wird Yasemin bei einem Anschlag auf ihr Café von Unbekannten erschossen. Ilyas Leben und das der gemeinsamen Tochter Senna gerät aus den Fugen, besonders als Ilyas selbst von der Polizei verdächtigt wird, seine Frau erschossen zu haben. Außerdem tauchen Gerüchte auf, Yasemin habe ein Doppelleben geführt. Je länger diese Verdächtigungen andauern, desto mehr stellt Ilyas sich die Frage: War Yasemin wirklich die Frau, die er geliebt hat?

A Good Place To End

---

The short film's narrative of fear ties landscape to character: "A Good Place To End" is a tale of orientation and disorientation. A teenage girl on a quest, a hunter trying to protect the area, and a woman sick of waiting, all wander their uncanny village, the surrounding countryside and the nearby dark forest. The three characters cross each other, but never really meet. Jozefien Van der Aelst's exploration of spatial narrativity delves into the interconnectedness of space and narrative. By intertwining the physical environment with the emotional landscapes of her characters, she orchestrates a symphony of sensory experiences that challenge our perception of storytelling itself.

Invisible to the Eye

Produced & directed by Zeynep Dadak

Sound design by Adrian Lo at K13 Studios Berlin

Inspired by Istanbul-born Armenian intellectual Eremya Celebi Komurciyan's travel diaries from the 17th century, Invisible to the Eye traces this particular itinerary in today’s Istanbul. As a cinematic travelogue in a contemporary Istanbul, the film explores Komurciyan’s farsighted relationship with the concepts of looking, seeing, and viewing. In his book titled History of Istanbul: Istanbul in the Seventeenth Century, Komurciyan talks to the reader as if he has a camera in hand. When we translate his ‘cinematic eye’ to a contemporary setting, there emerges an endless path on to the multifaceted visual history of this long-standing city.
