Kurt Kanunu poster

1926, Turkey. Anatolia is undergoing a difficult and harsh process marked by turmoil and uncertainty. Alongside the decisive and conscious directives to establish the new infrastructure of the new Turkey, there are also examples of resistance that cause an unstoppable reaction and unhealed wounds. Amidst the political backdrop revealed by this process, which operates with the indifference of a broken clock, individual stories continue to unfold with all their human qualities, and personal conflicts persist in highlighting negativity.

Iron Earth, Copper Sky poster
5.2

In this deeply symbolic and visually lush film, as far as Tashbash is concerned, he's just a malcontent, a fairly ordinary hell-raiser who has gotten into trouble with the law in the past. Sure, he hates the village headman who is a toady to the region's oppressive landlord, and he dislikes the fact that everyone looks to the headman for help because they have no place else to turn, but he's just an ordinary guy and has no solutions for his fellow villagers. However, after one of them has a vision in which Tashbash is shown to be a manifestation of one of their more important local saints, the villagers unite as one in seeking him out for help with the upcoming visit of the landlord to collect rents which they can't pay. Their adulation and reverence is so persistent that eventually even Tashbash becomes a believer.
