ANALOGUE PRACTICES IN DIGITAL LANDSCAPES, 2023, Documentary
In this film, I experiment with ethnographic research methods and modes of representation to depict analogue film communities, filmmaking practices in Berlin and Vienna, and the mechanical repair and photography milieus in Istanbul.
In an age marked by digital technologies, this film chronicles the everyday lives of artists working with obsolete or abandoned technologies and the mechanics and retailers who keep them alive.

BARBER QUEEN, 2019, Documentary, Işıl Karataş, Pia Bühler, Viktoria Kostova, Joyce Stefanova
BARBER QUEEN is a synesthetic experience, which takes the audience to the hypersensitive world of various delicate changes of the self, illuminating the intimate stories of five different individuals who are undergoing visual transformations. The stories are intertwined, and therefore all the scenes are combined into a series of close-ups metaphorically implying the experiencing of various sensations, emotions, and feelings, creating a playful dialogue between all participants.
