Time: 10:30 - 11:55
A Day, 365 Hours is a film that tells the real stories of Reyhan, Asya, and Leyla, highlighting what it means to be a child, a young girl, and a woman in the geography they live in. It powerfully conveys how family life can be free from the sacred myths, making us feel it to our core. The family is often a place where we cannot argue with our justifications, where we are made to feel guilty if we don't cover things up, because we idealize the organic connection it represents: "a crime scene." Director Eylem Kaftan masterfully uses the documentary language to bring the camera into this crime scene, capturing the story of these three young girls’ solidarity in the face of years of abuse. She effectively uses both visual and auditory language to narrate this powerful tale. With this profound hope, it is possible to live A Day, 365 Hours!
