Abdulhamid Kircher

Noch ein Kind — Still a Kid, is a film that poses the question of healing by delving into the complex dynamics of a Turkish-German family across three generations. From their struggles with immigrating, to facing patriarchal violence and inherited trauma, the film spans three years, set between Berlin and rural Antalya, Turkey. At the center is photographer Abdulhamid Kircher, who grapples with reconciling with his once estranged father through his photography.

Filmed over the course of seven years, the photographer Abdulhamid Kircher evolves as his subjects shift from strangers he meets on the streets in New York, to Californian nature, to self and his family in Berlin. His diaristic work becomes a reckoning of masculinity, heritage, and sense of belonging when he addresses his fractured relationship with his father; the film follows the years building to the release of his first monograph, 'Rotting From Within’ in 2024.
