Meteors

About This Movie

Meteors (2017) dives into the heavy atmosphere of life under siege in southeastern Anatolia, where the tension between Turkish soldiers and Kurdish separatists reaches a boiling point. The film stands out for its raw, documentary style, shot in long, single-take clips that really capture the emptiness and eerie silence of the lockdown. It’s not just a recounting of events; it immerses you in the haunting stillness of streets that should be alive. The pacing is deliberate, reflecting the slow, creeping tension of the situation. The locals' choice to document their reality gives it this unique, palpable authenticity. It’s less about narration and more about feeling the weight of conflict through the lens of those who live it.
