Phone Call From Imaginary Girlfriends: Ankara

About This Movie

So, 'Phone Call From Imaginary Girlfriends: Ankara' is a bit of an oddity from 2007, and it really gives off an introspective vibe. It’s like a love letter that wanders through themes of longing and emotional connection, but it’s got this very unique pacing that makes it feel almost meditative at times. What’s interesting is how it plays with the idea of imaginary relationships—there's something both whimsical and melancholic about it. The performances feel raw and genuine, even though the director's details remain elusive, which adds to its mystique. Overall, it’s a film that seems to linger long after it’s over, perhaps because of the practical effects that create a dreamlike atmosphere.

This film premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival, which already gives it a bit of a collector's edge. It screened later at the 2007 Pocket Film Festival in Paris, adding to its limited exposure. With a lack of mainstream release and sparse information on the director, this film has become somewhat of an underground curiosity. Collectors seem to appreciate its unique themes and the atmospheric qualities that set it apart from more conventional love stories.
