Do Not Forget Me Istanbul

2012 · 113 min

A patchwork of quiet, human vignettes drifting across one city, asking you to sit with memory and belonging rather than follow a single story.

Overview: Several directors from countries of the region were invited to create stories taking place in and around the beautiful city of Istanbul, in the vein of “Paris, je t’aime” and “New York, I love you”. They come together to remind viewers that Istanbul’s history does not belong only to the people of Turkey.
