Gulîstan, Land of Roses approaches a wartime setting through individual lives. The National Film Board of Canada record introduces the documentary’s closeness to the women fighters. Conversation, waiting, preparation and time spent together all become parts of the narrative.
Notice when the camera stays close, relationships between people and how different individual voices can be heard within a group. Comparing this approach with Akyol’s Rojek opens questions about using interviews and observation in different circumstances. Under Two Skies offers an earlier stop in the filmmaker selection.
