A Ay
1989

Eleven-year-old Yekta lives in a crumbling island mansion with her strict aunts and ailing grandfather, yearning for her absent mother. As dreams and surreal visions shape her solitude, she sets out in search of a mythical seagull with a child’s head.
Editorial
A cult hit in Turkey, Reha Erdem’s poetic and surreal first feature was impressively shot on an ultra-low budget yet is entirely virtuosic. Loosely based on an Istanbul myth, and shot on black and white film, with Oh, Moon! Erdem proved both his resourcefulness and his lucid cinematic vision.
