A creative dance documentary, Otherwise in Istanbul, follows the Istanbulian dancer MihranTomasyan, in a narrative told through his Armenian family history and identity, woven with archives, a collectively improvised choreography and the chaos of contemporary Istanbul.
Otherwise in Istanbul looks at life in Istanbul through Mihran’s story; his dance years in France as well as family clips; like his Armenian grandmother who has witnessed the transformation of Turkish Republic, as well as a family dinner with the late Hrant Dink. This is a look at life through affirmation; a universal story of optimism, of communitarianism affirmed through dancing together and living otherwise.
The crew will attend.
