Weird Absurd Whatever 2026

Directed by Zeynep Dadak

Working from the enforced absence of filmmaker-producer Çigdem Mater--sentenced to 18 years in prison in a trial tied to the 2013 Gezi Park protests for a documentary she never shot--Dadak and Kahraman braid dreams, screen captures, and AI images into a rehearsal for release, summoning Mater as a still-imagined free artist against the state's attempt to erase her.
