Kordon
Yağmur Ilgım Öztekin · Türkiye · Fiction · 15’34”
The Funicle follows Neva, who has lived with a constant sense of being late, measuring time through sounds coming from outside herself. At thirty, an unexpected diagnosis reveals a silent countdown within her body. Confronted with this countdown, she begins—perhaps for the first time—to listen to her own desires rather than the expectations of others, bringing long-postponed decisions to the surface.
