Wild

The film basically shows the contradiction of culture and nature.

It tries to tell the contradictions of humans and animals through the buffalos and other animals living in the Kızıl River (Kızılırmak) delta in Turkey.

The freedom of the Buffalos out in the nature comes to an end when their master forcefully take them to the barns which are productions of a "culture".

The plot of this Wild Documentary has been structured differently.

This film is an experimental movie with documentarial features.
Inside the movie, not the words but the acts of the buffalo owners were emphasized.

A style of a visual expression accompanied with background music and ambient sounds was adopted instead of interviews, off-voice and interior sounds.

Director's Statement of Wild (aka. Yaban) by Volkan Budak

In my film i tried to tell the contradictions of humans and animals through the buffalos and other animals living in the Kızıl River (Kızılırmak) delta in Turkey.

The freedom of the Buffalos out in the nature comes to an end when their master forcefully take them to the barns which are productions of a "culture".

It's a sad story and i prefer to use a style of a visual expression accompanied with background music and ambient sounds was adopted instead of interviews, off-voice and interior sounds.
