Ever Since, I Have Been Flying

About This Movie

Ever Since, I Have Been Flying is a contemplative dive into the life of Vakıf, a Kurdish man whose reflections on childhood are steeped in nostalgia and heartache. The documentary meanders through his memories—moments with his mother, the innocence of first love amidst cotton fields, and a poignant sense of loss. The pacing allows the audience to linger in these recollections, with an atmosphere that's both serene and melancholic. There's a rawness in Vakıf's storytelling that feels very personal, almost like you’re sitting with him by a fire, listening to tales of the past. The film captures not just the beauty of a bygone era but also the complexities of identity and cultural heritage, making it distinctive in its approach to human experience.
