Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
FAR AWAY
Dûr
Synopsis
It was by the end of 1997 when Kazım Öz re-visited his village after many years. No one remained except for a few elderly people reflecting on their loneliness, the many years etched on their faces. Every inch of earth, imbued with memories, every trace of the former lively atmosphere was gone.

Our take
Observing villagers at home and at work in his debut documentary feature, Kazım Öz makes a careful effort to preserve tradition. Unvarnished but beautiful, Far Away’s gentle mode of portraiture pays respect to everyday routines and humble existences that endure against rural dilapidation.
