  • This is a past program

Recommend for ages 8+

For thousands of years, Istanbul, Turkey has been home to a countless population of feral cats who roam its streets, balconies, rooftops, shops, and apartments like furry flaneurs. Director Ceyda Torun follows a few of them in this most curious of nature documentaries with a playful, roving camera and a keen eye for how their presence has shaped the people and culture of the storied metropolis.

(2016, dir. Ceyda Torun, Turkish with English subtitles, DCP, color, 79 min.)
