Plastic People, Ben Addelman, Ziya Tong, 83’, English; with Turkish subtitles  Canada, 2024, 83' From skyscrapers and grocery stores to furniture and elements of the clothes we wear, we are surrounded by plastic. But what is the impact of a material that never decomposes? In this fascinating and fast-paced investigative documentary, author and science journalist Ziya Tong seeks to understand what microplastics are and how, from our brain tissue to our food, they have seeped into the fabric of our lives and every strata of our complex ecology. Plastic People explores the impact of this non-biodegradable material and its vast – and still relatively unknown – health consequences, to reveal just how deeply it is ingrained in our lives. Featuring reflections from a global community of researchers, this is a powerful call to action. |

Plastic Recycling Myth, Tom Costello, Benedict Wermter, 52’, English, Turkish; with Turkish, English subtitles  Germany, Bulgaria, Türkiye, 2021, 52' Can plastic be recycled? Do you know what happens to your plastic waste? In the last few years the plastic pollution crisis has become enormous. Pictures of poisoned animals, littered rivers, and polluted oceans have shocked the world. The plastic packaging industry has declared it knows how to solve the problem: recycling. Increasingly, bottles, boxes and sachets are proudly stamped with the words ‘100% recyclable’ as brands compete to reassure consumers that their packaging purchases are guilt-free. But if recycling is really the solution, why is the world pumping out more virgin plastic than ever before? Could recycling really be the ultimate greenwash? We follow the money into an industry that’s designed to hide the problem rather than solve it. We track the black-market brokers who hunt for countries to dump our plastic, waste moguls getting rich by burning trash, and the organized criminals for whom waste smuggling is now as lucrative as the drugs trade. We show how some of the biggest consumer-goods brands on earth spin the recycling fairytale as a way to allow them to continue polluting without consequence. As we all pick up the bill for a world drowning in plastic, the film asks: who is getting rich?

The Grand Siege, Sinan Kesova, 97’, Tukish, Uzbek, French; with English subtitles (With the participation of the director and the co-writer)*
 2024 | DCP | Colour | 97’ | Turkish; English sub. | Türkiye The film follows Macit, an octogenarian and an ‘old-timer’ who has the luxury of swimming in the sea in front of his home. He still mourns the loss of his respected academician wife, properly cherishing her memory. He feels under a ‘great siege’ due to the changing world and thinks he has every right to feel that way. Should he really? Indeed, his children and those around him perceive him slightly differently—perhaps as stubborn, imposing, or even a despot. Presenting a nuanced view of how and who the grand siege is directed at, this debut film humorously explores generational myths of ‘righteousness’ and ‘merit’ in Türkiye.
