What She Faces in a Single Day… | SALI (Tuesday) | Award-Winning Short Film

Kısa bakış

An award-winning short that captures the subtle tensions of daily life through a teenage girl's experiences.

Özet

What SALI captures isn’t obvious. It lingers in glances, in proximity, in the quiet discomfort of being watched, followed, interrupted. A tension that never fully breaks. But never leaves. Minimal, precise, and deeply unsettling, this award-winning Turkish short film reveals how ordinary spaces can shift, subtly, constantly — depending on who you are. 🎬SYNOPSIS: An ordinary school day for a teenage girl in Istanbul and her encounters with three different men as she goes to school, plays basketball and takes a bus on the way home. 🔎ABOUT THE FILMMAKER: Ziya Demirel was born in 1988, in Adana, Turkey.
