The Town That Drove Away
Directed by Grzegorz Piekarski
The historic village of Hasankeyf, a Kurdish majority settlement, is ordered to relocate after plans are made to build a dam. The stark beauty of the Anatolian landscape frames the devastated buildings, the site of a political game requiring obedience and submission. When all has disappeared, only a bitter and unsettling sense of dignity will remain.
