Karahan’s debut feature The Fall from Heaven and Brother’s Keeper offer two entrances into his work. His official filmography records the latter’s 2021 Berlinale screening and FIPRESCI award. Beyond awards, a productive starting point is to watch how responsibility moves between its characters.
In Brother’s Keeper, a pupil trying to help his ill friend confronts a boarding school’s disciplinary system. A small situation gradually exposes adults’ decisions and their positions towards one another. When comparing the two films, attend to how space, silence and authority shape the narrative.
