Boats Out of Watermelon Rinds
The 60's, Tepecik, a small Anatolian village…
Directed by Ahmet Uluçay
Produced by Istisnai Filmler ve Reklamlar (IFR)
A tender, nostalgic portrait of childhood friendship and cinematic dreams in a 1960s Turkish village, suffused with warmth and the bittersweet magic of growing up.
In his award-winning debut feature film, director Ahmet Ulucay portrays the innocence of childhood and the lure of the cinema for two teens in a small Turkish village. Working for a watermelon seller by day, Remet spends his evenings trying to rebuild a film projector with his friend Mehmet. Both have big dreams to be famous film directors one day.
