Azra Deniz Okyay’s first feature film, *Ghosts*, garnered attention thanks to the awards it received, notably the Best Film Award at the 57th Golden Orange Film Festival in Antalya.
The film tells the story of four characters whose paths cross over the course of a single day when a power outage strikes Istanbul; it offers a glimpse into modern Istanbul through the lens of a city in flux, class differences, dreams, and hidden lives.
Following the screening, there will be a discussion with director Azra Deniz Okyay about the making of *Ghosts*, its characters, the film’s connection to the city, and its cinematic language.
We’ll gather at Inspera to watch *Ghosts* together and then dive back into the world of the film alongside its director.
