Kaya Erdinç (Maastricht, 1994) has worked as a writer and filmmaker. Kaya makes films which remain largely personal and poetic in their subject matter. After several epistemological investigations in the cinematic field – most notably Béla Tarr’s film.factory – he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and is currently based in Glasgow. This program consists of two earlier films that engage with cinema as both an invigorating and constricting mode of production, believing and questioning it at the same time. He will be present for a Q&A after the screening.

Two young men, one with Afghan roots, the other one with Turkish roots, grew up in the small city of Maastricht, The Netherlands. In high school they used to dream of living in a fancy apartment in the expensive neighborhood, Ceramique, with a blonde woman on their sides. Years later, they research the roots and the residue of this longing by the means of a film experiment.
