OUR ARK is an essay film on our efforts to create a virtual replica of the real world.

Showcases Alma, a mysterious guide to this world, it leads you through questions around the climate crisis, irreconcilable realities, and the virtual as a place to take shelter.

Phases of Matter follows living and inanimate residents of a teaching hospital in Istanbul, moving from the operating room to the morgue, between life and other states, the real and the virtual.

Desktop images, letters, text messages, interviews and CCTV footage, this aesthetically eclectic, politically daring collection of films by Altyazı Fasikül: Free Cinema stresses the need for criticality in times of censorship and repression.
