Synopsis

German musician Alexander Hacke sets out with his mobile recording studio to capture the musical diversity of Istanbul and construct a portrait of Turkish music. His journey leads to the discovery of a broad spectrum ranging from rock and classical arabesque to modern electronic and hip-hop.

Our take

Transcending cultural borders and genres, Istanbul’s vibrant music scene takes the spotlight in Fatih Akin’s sonically immersive time capsule, now remastered in 4K. Thumping with an infectious energy, this movable feast celebrates the bonding power of art over political and generational divides.
