ZENNE DANCER

German photographer Daniel Bert, who comes to Istanbul to do photo shoots, meets Can, who is a zenne at a nightclub, and Ahmet, who comes from a conservative eastern family.

Based on a true story of honor killing, Zenne Dancer is a courageous work of radical defiance. The emphasis on the collective euphoria that emits from drag performances, which are exuberantly visualized, profoundly evokes how queer artistic expression soars above the conservatism of Turkish society.
