BOSPHORUS
2017 7 Min. Turkey
"Bosphorus" follows a curious young woman navigating a dystopian Istanbul, where two rival states control opposite sides of the Bosphorus Strait. Communication and travel between the two sides are strictly forbidden. Armed with a pair of binoculars, she becomes obsessed with observing the other side—a place she has never visited and knows nothing about.
