Yellow Letters (Sari Zarflar)

Life in Turkey is good for celebrated artist couple Derya and Aziz – until an incident at their latest play’s premiere. Suddenly targeted by the state and struggling to balance their ideals with life’s necessities, their marriage is pushed to a breaking point. How far will they go to uphold their art, convictions, and dignity when their own government takes on the role of insurmountable opponent?

From İlker Çatak, the Academy Award-nominated director of The Teacher’s Lounge (GEMS 2023), this Berlin Golden Bear winner is a timely and sobering indictment of political persecution and censorship in the arts.
