About Film and Director

Maşallah

Pick an outfit. You need to get dressed and just go out. How difficult could it be? Check how much cleavage you reveal. Could they see your bra? Wear a nude coloured one so that it won’t attract attention. Don’t give people the wrong idea. If your cleavage shows, cover it with a scarf. Just to be sure, use a safety pin so the scarf doesn’t move. You don’t need the safety pin, just pin an evil eye bead. Now, that’s safe.

About Film and Director

Between Delicate and Violent

Between Delicate and Violent is an experimental documentary that considers hands as memory places that can accumulate and transfer memories. Through hands and their creations, the film imagines unearthing lost memories not included in performative, socially acceptable family albums. Can we see the violence of the painter's hands in the brush strokes of his paintings? Is cross-stitch an alphabet? The video connects with the director's past through imagination and creation, while opening up to larger human stories such as domestic violence and intergenerational trauma and resistance.
