THE OTHER TOWN

THE OTHER TOWN (ÖTEKİ KASABA), 2010
Türkiye | 35mm, Color, 45’ | Turkish
Director: Nefin Dinç

Why do neighbors fight? How does animosity and prejudice between ethnic groups arise? How and why is animosity re-produced? This documentary is about the people of two towns and how they see “the other side”; Birgi in Western Anatolia, which the Greeks seized in the past, and Dimitsana in the Peloponnese, which was once in Ottoman hands.
