Eyes on the Street
Directed by Yağmur Filiz, Gökay Aydemir, Nesrin Akyol, Yekta Demirkalp
A cerebral documentary investigation into power, ownership, and everyday life in Istanbul's contested public spaces, grounded in observational storytelling.
Eyes on the Street, through three different public spaces in Istanbul, tells the story of who uses and transforms the city and its public spaces, and how these spaces are used. Who truly owns a city's common spaces, and who decides how those spaces will be used?
