Why watch it?

Gênco turns from superhero stories’ large conflicts towards small needs and ordinary encounters. An unusual ability does not entirely free its character from everyday life. Ali Kemal Çınar’s interview describes how the film was made with modest resources and the choices behind this approach in his own account.

Look for humour in pauses, waiting and fixed images as well as jokes. Events unfolding slowly leave time to notice other details within the frame. Continue with Veşartî and Di Navberê De to follow the relationship between the ordinary and extraordinary.
