Kenan Korkmaz : 2014
Gone 'The Other and the Unknown'
The story follows the village headman and his two sons as they live in the village of Aynvert where the ancient Upper Mesopotamian nation of Syriacs have always lived, and discusses the pains of both leaving and returning. As terror reigns over their land, the majority of fellow villagers leave their home and country. The village headman, however, refuses to leave despite oppression. Joseph, one of his sons, decides to leave while Yuhan, the other, will stay with his father. From that moment on, both sons will question the decisions they have made: one for having left, the other for not. Most often the question will arise as they gaze at a picture of the sky that they have drawn on the ceiling in their house, the silsel. They long for freedom but they will always crash on a wall. Kenan Korkmaz's second feature premiered at İstanbul Film Festival 2014.
