In Pursuit of a Collective (2025)
The film explores the legacy of Çekirdek Sanat Evi, which sprouted in a corner of Istanbul during the turbulent 1980s, through the research and connections built by a small team. Çekirdek was more than a music venue; it was a unique collective where musicians, listeners, and friends shared their creations, shaped by music, solidarity, and the desire for freedom. The film not only recalls the past but also highlights the continued existence of collective production today, under different names and in different spaces.
