YOL – The Full Version
Directed by Şerif Gören, written and original idea by Yılmaz Güney | 2022 | Switzerland, Turkey | 110' | EN subs

YOL – The Full Version honors what Turkish-Kurdish actor, author, director, and producer Yılmaz Güney wasn’t free to complete during his lifetime. It presents on the screen the content of the script that Yılmaz Güney wrote in prison. The film recounts, as in Yılmaz Güney’s original script, six, rather than five stories about Turkish and Kurdish prisoners. Each of them attempts to get their life back on track during a week’s leave from prison, a piece of Turkish-Kurdish film history that is more contemporary than ever.

This film was first screened in Cavia on March 27, 1985. It was also one of the 33 films shown during the 1983 Staatsliedengreep Festival (see our website for more information.)
