Desire for a Dream 2022

That day, yet again İsa goes to the depths of the forest, among the trees, in order to meet his desire to dream, which is his purpose of life and which has become indispensable for him. To him, the most serene chance to get into sleep and dreams has been that green cover of earth, where the wind offers relief and the trees shed their leaves upon him. Since he is not sure that he can reach his dream yet, he has a wish to be mentally peaceful before falling asleep and tries to prepare himself for his dream by imagining what he wants to see. After his stroll in the forest, he goes among the trees, turns himself into the arms of sleep, and now it's time to detach from the world to meet his dream.

Personal memory exists to the extent that it is shaped by the individual's own time and place. Proust states that it is a re-creation of the past by saying "memories developed by the mind", Even if the state of forgetting is inevitable, the form of the past changes with the images in the consciousness. In the short film, the director examines the interaction with memory, time, and space in a visual context, using different media, based on the daily life and encounters of her grandmother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 15 years ago.

Trans individuals, who are deprived of their right to work due to their gender identity, become a more vulnerable group in Turkey, especially in cases involving illness and old age. In 2012, following the initiative of the Istanbul LGBTI Solidarity Association, the Trans Guest House was opened for trans individuals who are in distress, have no place to stay, and are exposed to violence. The short documentary film “Guest*House”, together with the photographs Ömer Tevfik Erten took in the guesthouse in 2014, is the gateway to the trans solidarity organized for the sustainability of the Trans Guesthouse and the search for a “safe space” for the people who temporarily host the guest house.
