Slow Knowing Film Series: About Dry Grasses

Nov 2, 2024 @ 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Nestled away in snowy, isolated Anatolia, public school art teacher Samet yearns to leave the sleepy village for cosmopolitan Istanbul. He finds a silver lining in Nuray, a fellow teacher and firebrand who forces him to confront what he can’t readily accept.

(Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Turkey, 2023, Turkish w/ Eng sub, 197 min, DCP)
