Emre Birismen focuses on survival, immigration, inequality, liberty, and justice – communicated through an abstract and multi-layered narration. Challenging (auto)censorship mechanisms in the oppressive environment in Turkey, Birismen finds creative alternatives to speak politically through film. The screening will be moderated by the initiator of VIDEOACT Sirin Erensoy.
In collaboration with the H2020 MSCA-IF project, VIDEOACT, a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 101025524.
