The Fade of Day

The roar of their engines is a short documentary film set in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, a territory that still bears the scars of an ongoing 50 years-old conflict, where peace talks are at a standstill. Meanwhile, the Turkish-Cypriot population is aging, silently and away from the spotlight, on disputed and over-militarized lands. This war no longer concerns them.

White Noise explores the links between people and their land, and how fragile this relationship can be. Even though the film is presented under the themes of material and metaphysical loss and grief, the poetic discourse calls for hope through respect and humility.
