SHORT JOY // The superfast longitudinal documentary is composed of short takes / impressions filmed over the course of one year, forming a kind of a cycle of audio-visual poems: image is accompanied by the director’s poetic comments and fragments of conversations. The film as a whole reflects the effort to capture the ephemeral experience of an uprooted, forcibly displaced person in their new environment.

„I took videos each and every day for a whole year. I edited them into a sort of video diary, and from them, I was able to make my first short film.“ Malaz Usta

This film is not currently online :(
