The audience is immersed in the queer tones of Fehmi Öztürk’s cinema—the director of films such as *Free Fun* (2020) and *A Mother Sonata* (2020)—and in his world of storytelling.

Öztürk, who creates a colorful, anachronistic universe in his films, intertwines time and space in an unconventional way, allowing his characters to exist neither entirely here nor entirely there, but precisely in this in-between space.

This cinema, which treats queer existence not as a theme but as a perspective woven into the fabric of the narrative, asks its audience anew each time: In what kind of world can a person be themselves, and is this world real—or only possible in film?

In this conversation, they speak with Fehmi Öztürk from within his films about how these worlds come into being and about a queer narrative language.
