Special Screening: Kar Korsanlari – Snow Pirates

Art & Exhibits Independent Cinema Performances

Cinéma Bio

Set during a bitter winter in 1980s Turkey amid a military coup, Kar Korsanlari (Snow Pirates) follows three boys who scavenge for coal to survive the cold. With intimate, observational imagery and restrained yet powerful storytelling, the film contrasts the harsh authority of soldiers with the fragile, playful solidarity of childhood. A quietly political and poetic debut, it exposes the mechanisms of repression while celebrating youthful resilience and small acts of compassion.

Screening, concert on Place du Marché (Dara Macit and Ismail Tumen) et exhibition at bar Vehbi Koca
