Directed by Kadir Balci, 2010, 96 min.

Flemish/Turkish with English subtitles 

As part of the 5th EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture) Film Festival, the FNCC presents:

Turquaze tells the story of Timur, a 20-something son of Turkish immigrants who tries to find his place - both culturally and socially - in Ghent. Several situations complicate Timur's life: his girlfriend, the outgoing, loyal Sarah, is Flemish. His older brother is a staunch Muslim patriarch, who rules the family with an iron fist. Timur exists directly in the middle - living with his family in Ghent's Turkish neighbourhood, he is also part of its greater community, having been born in the city, educated in its schools and employed by its Fine Arts Museum. Timur is a great Belgian "multi-cultural" example.
