AETHER

Italy, Turkey 2019 – Director: Rûken Tekeş – Original language: Kurdish – Subtitles: English – Length: 81 min.

A dam is going to be built on the Tigris, which will lead to the disappearance of one of the world’s oldest cultural landscapes. The filmmaker captures it one more time: the beauty and breadth of the nature, the animals and the people that still occupy it.
