Araf is an essayistic road movie and diary of a ghostly

character, Nayia, who travels between Srebrenica and

Sarajevo to Mostar in Bosnia. She has been in exile since

the war and returns for the 22nd memorial of the Srebrenica

genocide. The film is guided by her diary notes of the

journey which merge with the myth of Daedalus and Icarus

– Icarus being the name given to the winner of a bridge

diving competition in her home country. The story of Icarus

and Daedalus, a myth symbolic of man’s over-ambition and

inevitable failure, is weaved throughout the film as a way

to think about exorcizing the vicious cycle of such events

happening in the future and of a possible reconciliation.

Nayia also thinks of Icarus from a different perspective,

that of seeing the optimism of such a leap, his braveness

of taking a leap into the unknown in this era of radical

instability, that perhaps, Icarus wanted to write a different

narrative.

Located in the Northeast Turkey, the province of Kars is

tucked away between the Plato of Eastern Anatolia and

Armenia. Stunningly beautiful land known for its hot

summers and harsh winters is where the story of BROTHERS

OF SILENCE unfolds.

A random example in Turkish documentary making of the

cinema verite both in style and storytelling, loosely scripted

film\’s plot evolves around the family of the filmmaker\’s

mute cousins Toso and Çao Mintas who he follows for four

years.

Respectfully carrying out his observation, Taylan Mintas

creates an intimate slow burning \”a la\”Jean Rouch movie

utilizing meditative and melancholic moods combined with

sharp images and the breathtaking panoramas of North East

Turkey.

same disease. Inspired by all these people with different

stories, Ebru will be, from now on, in solidarity with them.

While seasons change, their friendship and solidarity will

turn into a dance.
