Quick read
An award-winning short that captures the subtle tensions of daily life through a teenage girl's experiences.
Synopsis
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. He started theatre at high school and continued at university. While studying industrial engineering in Galatasaray University he directed his first short film ‘The Title of The Film’. After his graduation, he continued his studies for film directing & scriptwriting at the Prague Film School. There he shot his well-received short film ‘Evicko’. ‘Salı’ is his fourth short film. 🏆 FESTIVALS Pre-selection aux Césars 2017 Compétition officielle - Festival de Cannes 2015 Toronto International Film Festival 2015 (TIFF) - Official Competition Sundance Film Festival 2016 - Official competition Sarajevo Film Festival - Special Mention from the Jury (Bosnia) Best short film at festival de cinéma européen des Arcs Jury award at Istanbul international short film festival (Turkey) Best short film at Istanbul international film festival (Turkey) SIYAD Turkish Film Critics Association Award 2016 - Best short film Support for the Creation Award at Film court en plein-air de Grenoble Capalbio Cinema (Italy) Festival short shorts (Japan) - out of competition special Cannes Helsinki International film festival - Love & Anarchy (Finland) Sao Paulo International Short Film Festival (Brazil) Sarajevo film festival (Bosnia) Milano Film Festival - official competition (Italy) BFI London Film Festival - official competition (United Kingdom) Festival of Mediterranean Short Film in Tangiers Un festival c’est trop court ! in Nice France - european competition Hamptons International Film Festival - official competition (USA) Leeds International film festival - official competition (UK) Festival Tous courts Aix-en-Provence - official competition (France) Vancouver Turkish Film Festival (Canada) Festival du film court de Villeurbanne (France) - en compétition American Film Institut Festival (AFI FEST), Los Angeles and many more... ///////////////////////// ▶️Subscribe for more shorts: https://goo.gl/39Zrzi ▶️Follow us on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kiskiskeepitshort ▶️Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kiskiskeepitshort ▶️Follow us on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/KIS_KIS/ ///////////////////////// 📝CREDITS Original title: Sali Direction: Ziya Demirel Scenario: Buket Coskuner, Ziya Demirel Production: Istos Film Co-Production: Origine Films Producers: Anna Maria Aslanoğlu, Ziya Demirel Co-Producers: Emilie Dubois, Olivier Berlemont Cinematography: Meryem Yavuz Editing: Henrique Cartaxo Sound: Murat Oner Soundtrack: Pepijn Geeraerts Cast - Melis Balaban, Zeki Ocak, Yonca Hiç, Can Karacayli, Tevfik Irmak, Basar Sayin Year: 2015 © Licensed by Origine Films #kiskis #shortfilm #kisafilm #awardwinning #femaleperspective #socialdrama #istanbul #cannes
