Statement of the Director/s
As a Kurdish director who lives in Turkey, I had to film all my movies in Turkish to this day. The main reason behind this is the pile of obstacles that raised before me anytime I wanted to tell stories in Kurdish and the fact that the state policy blocked me from being funded. In consequence, I have always found myself in a place where I created and imagined my stories in Kurdish but had to shoot in Turkish. However, with my THINGS UNHEARD OF titled film, I intend to tell a story in my own mother tongue backed by the culture that I was born and raised in.
