Av: The Hunt

Police officer Sedat raids a derelict apartment squatted by a young couple. The man is killed, the young woman, Ayşe, escapes. When her friends and relatives offer no help, Ayşe is forced to steal cash and a car from her father and flee town like an outlaw. The chase goes deeper into the wild. Along with three men he has recruited, Sedat is pursuing her, out to kill in the name of honour. Taking off from the suburbs of Anatolia, Av: The Hunt continues reaching breath-taking natural landscapes, and recounts how a young woman is pulled into spiral of violence while trying to escape the patriarchal society she lives in.

Alien

And from silence and darkness awakes - an all-moving, all-turning being. White, yellow and golden spindles in vigorous synchronised rotation.

In the midst of the heat and noise of the historic machine souls a hunched old man is working, sometimes a cog, sometimes the conductor.
