Letters from a land unfamiliar<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Malaz <\/strong>Usta<\/h2>\n\n\n

synopsis<\/h2>

Na terugkomst van een bezoek aan zijn verbannen familie in Istanbul, verdiept Malaz zich in de beelden en dagboekaantekeningen die hij heeft verzameld. Terwijl hij de uitdagingen van zijn familie probeert te begrijpen, maakt zijn eigen gevoel van vervreemding de lijn tussen zijn alledaagse leven, de beelden en de wereld die hij probeert op te bouwen onduidelijk. Deze verstrengeling van verleden, heden en ingebeelde werkelijkheid cre\u00ebert een suggestieve reflectie op de ervaring van ontheemding.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n
