Backward Run

About This Movie

Backward Run is an interesting piece, really. It's an animated endeavor that delves into the weighty topic of press censorship, specifically regarding the Gezi Park protests in Turkey back in 2013. The film's tone is somber yet thought-provoking, with a pacing that feels almost disjointed at times—reflective of the chaos it portrays. The animation style, while simple, effectively captures the emotional undercurrents of the protests. It's not your typical animation; it carries a heavy message that resonates throughout. The lack of a known director adds to its mystique. It feels like a passionate outcry rather than just a film, which is what makes it stand out for me. Definitely one to consider for anyone interested in political animation.
