ZER
The international awarded film by Kazim Oz, tells the story of Jan, a young man who has grown up in New York and is moved by a song that grandmother sings to him on her deathbed. She tells him about a recurring nightmare that she experienced as a child in a terrible massacre. After her death, Jan travels to Kurdish coreland, searching for the truth behind the song she sang. His journey takes him deep into his own unknown heritage, revealing sad, violently hidden truths and the importance of what the grandmother has left behind.
Judi of the Wishes
Believed in many Middle Eastern cultures to be the place where Noah’s ark came to rest after the Flood, Judi of the Wishes (Cûdîyê Miradan) simultaneously tackles the seasonal cycle in the mountain and the disruption of this natural flow by armed conflict. This short is also an attempt to reconstruct the name of the mountain—home to a wide range of flowers, goats and honeybees, and which is also believed to have the power to grant wishes—from within that geography and by the sound of nature itself, in contrast to what outsiders have been attempting to do for decades.
