| Synopsis: | ||||||||||||||
| A visually stunning short, Dust sets viewers adrift like the dislodged feathers of a ruptured pillow hanging in the heavy air. Traversing the sun-drenched, soft-focus spaces; abandoned plates of food; broken pipes and billowing curtains of a flat become a metaphorical journey, exploring sites of exposed and secluded anxiety, abuse and control in one couple’s relationship. In Turkish with English subtitles. | ||||||||||||||
