MOVIES

NIGHT/LEYL

Directed by Mehmet Tolga Eskiocak

Leyl is about the holidays of those living as a minority in Hatay Turkey. During these festivals, sacrifices are made and a dish similar to keskek, which the locals call ‘hriyse’, is made. This meal is distributed to the children of the neighborhood by filling them in containers they bring from their homes. On the occasion of this holiday, the features of minority culture such as cooperation and solidarity are shown. An answer is sought to the question of why this cultural activity, which is about to become extinct, should be continued.

Alet-les-Bains, an idyllic village in the south of France. Here, in the middle of the mountainous landscape, Marc and Juliette withdrew during the lockdown.

Dasher

Directed by Joaquim Adrià Pujol

A mysterious character navigates existential disconnect during an evening of food deliveries in Los Angeles.

The Conversation They Never Had

Directed by Anna Aleksandrova

Viennese cafe somewhere in time. Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn. He got the prize and never mentioned her. She’s asking why. While talking about science, Lise takes an unexpected turn into reckless vulnerability expressing her life long love for Otto. Suddenly, Otto realizes that he missed the most essential part in science- love of the discovery. Taken by her sincerity, he is falling in love with Lise… but it’s a dream.

Win or Lose

Directed by James Amuta

When you live in the ghetto, every day is a gamble.

Cornbread & Black-Eyed Peas

Directed by Brett Ball

Cornbread & Black-eyed peas were once just a cost-efficient meal our grandparents used to feed their 20 children but years later it would become a musical anthem we now use to feed our souls. As an extension of Loud Silence Production’s Docu-series titled “Planted”, this music video represents the rhythm of spiritual roots and the blues of life in the pecan-crusted southern fields of Mississippi, where family was not only all you had but all you needed.
