Film Screening as a part of 2009 ICA Film Festival on Global Megacities
Synopsis: Five intertwined Istanbul tales are told with surprising integrity by five directors: A heart-broken clarinet player becomes the Pied Piper; Little Red Riding Hood masquerades as a mob courier who's just released from jail; Cinderella works as an ill-fated prostitute; Snow White encounters the eighth dwarf in the streets of Beyoglu; and a poor Kurdish youngster meets Sleeping Beauty. (99 minutes, in Turkish with English Subtitles)
