A Warp in Time Zaman Bükülmesi: Yörüklerin Uzun ÇilesiDocumentary "The Nomadic Yörük-Türkmens live in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions. Today, most Yörük-Türkmens have adopted a settled lifestyle. The nomadic lifestyle's foundation is raising livestock and migrating to find fresh grazing for the animals. This cycle has continued for thousands of years since the domestication of animals. This ancient journey intersects with contemporary life, dividing it and warping time. When this warping ends, perhaps time itself will end, along with the fundamental cycle of food. Our documentary is a testament to the Yörük lifestyle of the Turcan/Mutlu Sönmez couple and their nearly 300 goats and sheep. We filmed their four-day migration from the 2000-meter-high Ağla plateau in the Çameli region to the Kapıdağ peninsula between Göcek and Dalaman in November 2017. We also filmed their return journey to the plateau in 2018. The film includes small details from the migration. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to complete oral cultural research about the migration. The pandemic limited our working conditions and prevented us from recording oral histories. After the pandemic, we finished the film using the existing migration recordings." -- Sabri Kuşkonmaz

A Warp in Time

Wine Dark SeaŞarap Rengi DenizDocumentary This film chronicles the profound changes wrought by global warming in the Mediterranean, the sea Homer famously described as the 'Wine-Dark Sea,' and its surroundings. Rising temperatures are rapidly transforming the air, the sea, and the way of life in the Mediterranean. At the same time, individuals from diverse backgrounds and various organizations are working tirelessly to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change in the region. Yet, the film poses a thought-provoking question: Will all these efforts be enough? 'Wine-Dark Sea' leaves viewers pondering whether we will be doomed to live in the shadow of a once-beautiful Mediterranean dream, unable to find solutions to environmental issues. Or will we collectively forge a new narrative?&nbsp;
