One of Those Days When Hemme Dies
7:30 pm–9:30 pm
Directed by Murat Fıratoğlu (Türkiye, France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and UK, 2024, 83 min.). Turkish with English subtitles.
Eyüp, bankrupt and forced to leave İzmir, takes grueling fieldwork drying tomatoes under the scorching sun. When Hemme, the foreman, withholds wages, Eyüp’s anger builds, pushing him toward a violent act—only to be quietly diverted by the rhythms of small-town life.
Winner of the Orizzonti Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, Türkiye’s official Academy Award submission, and recipient of the Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay awards from the Turkish Film Critics Association.
“Of a seeming and disarming simplicity, One of Those Days When Hemme Dies forces the audience to stop and observe the small everyday actions of life.” —Cineuropa
