The Passengers

Partner: Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts

"The Passengers " touches upon the concepts of longing, belonging and exile. Painting a psychogeographical portrait of a village in the periphery of Constantinople/Istanbul, the film reflects on the notion of diaspora while hinting at a way to reconnect history and space with collective memory.
