Kedi

Dir. Ceyda Torun | Turkey / USA | 80 min | U

An impossible to resist Turkish documentary about the many stray cats that live in Istanbul - it's 100% allergy free, too!

Hundreds of thousands of cats roam the metropolis of Istanbul freely. For years they've wandered in and out of people's lives, becoming an essential part of the communities that make the city so rich. Claiming no owners, the cats of Istanbul live between two words, neither wild nor tame, and they bring joy and purpose to those people they choose to adopt. By following seven of the city's cats - Bengü, Deniz, Duman, Gamsiz, Rat Catcher, Yellow and Psycho - Kedi is as close as we'll come to experiencing what it's like to be a cat in Istanbul.

In partnership with Random Acts, we are screening handpicked short works by young filmmakers and artists before our main features. We hope you enjoy the talent from young creatives across the country. Before Kedi, we will be screening Flora and Sunday '94.
