MOM
Mom is a semi-fictional documentary centered around the director’s mother, exploring the possibilities and limitations passed down through generations from a gender perspective. The film follows Sevin, who, after a lifetime of being denied permission to pursue her dreams and eventually forgetting how to imagine them, never considered stepping on stage again. Now, as she takes on the first lead role of her life, the film opens a small window into the lives of girls who, after being held back from their dreams, have now grown into mothers themselves.

I began acting in 2014 with a university student club, participating in three different plays as both an actor and makeup artist. Seeking to advance my skills, I trained with both international and local artists, focusing on Lecoq's method. In 2018, I started taking contemporary dance lessons. During one workshop, I created a solo performance and produced a short video of it. At the same time, I was involved in several amateur short films as an acting coach and actor.
Creating my own video sparked my interest in filmmaking. While studying sociology, I aimed to blend my artistic background with social sciences, leading me to make documentaries. Since 2019, I have been producing and editing documentaries. My first documentary was screened at the Seville International Women's Documentary Festival in 2021. In 2024 I am selected as one of the talents for TamART program initiated by Institute Français in Turkey.
I still am creating documentary films and editing them.
