Zephyr is thematically following Belma Baş’s multi-awarded short Poyraz. The eponymous Zephyr is a strong-willed adolescent girl, who spends her summer at her grandparents’ country home on the foothills of Turkey’s Eastern Black Sea Mountains. Her mother finally shows up, but only to say farewell before going far away. But Zephyr’s determination not to let her mother go, no matter what, is so strong that it leads to a tragic consequence.
Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches exhibition brought together photographs, magazines, comics, objects, and books from various private and institutional collections, and told a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure was a documentary testament of the radical transformations in the Republic’s lifestyle.
