Ölüler (Los muertos)

Director: Lisandro Alonso Screenplay: Lisandro Alonso Cast: Argentino Vargas Argentina / 2004 / 81 min. / Color / DCP / Spanish / With English and Turkish subtitles "The Dead," the second film that brought director Lisandro Alonso, one of the most distinctive filmmakers of contemporary cinema, to the international stage, offers an uncompromising viewing experience with its minimalist structure, long shots, and directorial choices that blur the boundaries between fiction and documentary filmmaking. "The Dead" features not only the central character but also the nature and landscape surrounding him, charting the journey of Vargas as he is released from prison, revealing a forgotten and increasingly invisible landscape and the harsh existence within it. * We would like to thank Lumiton and the Argentine Consulate for their collaboration, and our main program sponsor, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi, for their support. * Please be advised that the film contains scenes of violence against animals.
