Strange Abandoned Deranged + Q&A
The rise and catastrophic fall of Naturland Eco Park, the first eco-hotel in Turkey, unfolds in a kaleidoscopic journey through the derelict remains of the once idyllic resort.
Director Ceylan Özgün Özçelik (winner of the 2017 SXSW Gamechanger Award for her feature Inflame) presents a film which is hybrid in every way, a cast of narrators and performers perfectly encapsulating the bizarre location in its dystopian fairytale state. Both an absurd tale in itself and a reflection of Turkey’s recent history, Strange Abandoned Deranged is an eye-popping feast for adventurous eyes.
Producer Armağan Lale will attend the Saturday 9th screening and participate in a post-screening Q&A hosted by Si Edwards, senior programme manager.
