In the organizer's words:

LIGHT & DEVOTION - FILMS & CONVERSATIONS FROM KURDISTAN

IRQ 2021, feature film, 91 min.

Directed by Haşim Aydemir.

With: Şemzîn Şîn, Mehmet Emin Yalçınkaya, Abdullah Tarhan, Leyla Çelik, Remziye Aktan, Serhat Hulaku.

Language: OmU (Kurdish with German subtitles).

The first book adaptation in Kurdish film history - this is TIME OF THE BROTHERS. Based on the autobiographical guerrilla novel of the same name by Murat Türk, filmmaker Haşim Aydemir (14 JULY) tells the story of the Kurdish resistance of the 1990s. The life of the main protagonist Şervan becomes an odyssey - a student who finds his hometown reduced to rubble joins the resistance movement, is wounded and spends 45 days searching for his comrades. Struggle, danger, solidarity and lots of symbolism.

The actors are mainly residents of the Mexmûr refugee camp, which was founded by people who were forced to leave their villages in the Botan region of northern Kurdistan in the 1990s due to the scorched earth policy.

At the beginning of the event, the Kurdish Center for Public Relations (Civaka Azad) will contextualize the film events and explain the historical framework on which both the novel by Murat Türk and the film adaptation are based.
