Unfinished Films

Director Barış Yıldırım

Cast: Documentary — crews and witnesses of unfinished films

A 45-minute documentary tracing unfinished cinema projects and their crews; TRT Documentary finalist.

Unfinished Films follows Turkish cinema projects that stalled mid-shoot, sat on shelves or never reached completion. Through directors, actors and crews it asks why films stop—and how production economics, censorship, distribution and personal tragedy leave them unfinished.

Directed by Barış Yıldırım for By Film Yapım; 45 minutes. Cinematography by Kürşat Üresin, editing by Deniz Kurtul. Finalist in the National Professional category at the 8th TRT Documentary Film Competition (2016).
