Halaybaşı

dir. İbrahim Abay, 10‘ 36’‘

The film deals with the story of Xale Kemal, who was born and raised in Diyarbakır and has been making a living by attending weddings as a halaybaşı since she was twelve years old. Xale Kemal, who aims to carry this value to the next generations by keeping this tradition inherited from her ancestors, succeeded in becoming one of the well-known figures of the city in a short time with her unique style, and left the audience in awe, especially with her plays at weddings, in this journey that lasted for about 60 years.
