Stray
NZIFF2021
AroView: A companion piece of sorts to “Kedi” (2016), the popular film about the stray cats of Istanbul, that this time presents the dog’s eye-view of several strays living in the same city. These benign dogs enjoy an unusual level of tolerance from the general public and some special care and attention from a group of night security workers and a band of homeless young Syrians.
“The filmmaker’s eyes may rarely leave the dogs, but what she’s really looking at is us.” ~Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
