A Cup of Turkish Coffee
Bir Fincan Türk Kahvesi
2013
Synopsis
An old woman and her granddaughter sit around a table and go through old family photographs. The old woman tries to resist looking at these pictures, yet she cannot resist what the past evokes.
Editorial
Memory steeps like coffee in this animated reverie, where personal and national histories blur. A lyrical act of remembrance, the politically charged A Cup of Turkish Coffee draws power from what’s unsaid, illustrating generational traumas with quiet, pointed grace.
