The Red (Kirmizi) by Demet Sert, Elif Akarsu, and Nuri Ertug Tugalan. Turkey, 2004, 12 min, Mini DV US première

What do a slaughterhouse worker and a classical Ebru (paper marbling) artist have in common? This near perfect little documentary brings together two colorful characters who find their unlikely bond over a poorly understood substance: bile. Layers and layers of mediation between art and blood make Kirmizi a highly complex meditation on the nature of work, art, aesthetics, and class. In Turkish with English subtitles.
