A cinematic introspective diary of a displaced filmmaker built with and around images.

I go through my diary and the footage I collect to understand my relationship with my family, with exile, and with filmmaking. My daily life overlaps with the footage, my memories, hopes, and imagination.

Upon returning from a visit to his exiled family in Istanbul, Malaz immerses himself in the images and diary entries he gathered. While trying to understand the challenges his family faces, his own sense of alienation makes unclear the line between his mundane everyday life, the footage, and the world he’s trying to build. This entanglement of past, present, and imagined reality creates an evocative reflection on the experience of displacement.
