Not Built To Last

dir. Deniz Arıkan, 20’ (Netherlands)

In Rotterdam, a city rebuilt from memory and shaped by modernity, two architects meet for a single day. Daniel, a local, is assigned to guide Emre, a visitor from Istanbul, through the landmarks of the city. What begins as a professional tour gradually reveals their differences in freedom, identity and belonging, almost as if Rotterdam and Istanbul themselves were meeting for a day.
