Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yörük village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else.
Winner: Sundance Film Festival 2025 World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award and the Special Jury Award for Creative Vision.
<b>“The sort of film that urges one to tell everyone about it so that they too can bask in its wondrous pleasures, <I>DJ Ahmet</I> is a revelation in that it seamlessly straddles the line between laugh-out-loud crowd-pleaser and art-house gem with affecting gravitas” — <I>Variety</I></b>
