SOUTHERN LIGHTS 2021 // HAYALETLER (Ghosts, 2020)

Director Azra Deniz Okyay in conversation with Rabih El-Khoury (DFF).

Recorded at the DFF cinema on November 5th, 2021.

In Istanbul, in a neighborhood where gentrification is in full swing, four people meet: a mother whose son is in prison, a young dancer, a feminist artist and a cunning middleman. Their stories intertwine in the wake of a drug deal to create a stirring narrative about today’s generation.
