The Successful Festival Journey Continues

Director Ferit Doğan, expressing his happiness about the successes achieved during the films' festival journey, stated that their dreams are growing bigger with each passing day after these achievements.

In the "Past, Future, Now" project, Doğan mentioned his intention to highlight the damages that traumas inflict on the human mind. In the dystopian future, he created in the film, he envisions a universe where embarking on a mental journey has become possible. The main character of the film, Arzu, embarks on a mental journey, wandering through the dark corners of her mind and passing through meaningless or bizarre places. Doğan, who prefers to confront characters with their desires, passions, and fears, emphasizes that storytelling becomes much more enjoyable as they explore human nature.

Congratulations to the students who contributed and best wishes for their continued success.
