EXCLUSIVE: Screen can reveal the first trailer for Ferit Karahan’s Turkish family drama Djinn Wedding, which gets its world premiere in Platform on September 16.
Luxbox represents sales on the story that spans the lives of four siblings and examines their relationships to each other and the remote Anatolian village they inhabit. As the family bears the weight of custom, patriarchy, and duty, a supressed crime resurfaces at the sister’s wedding.
Demit Özdemir, İlhan Şen, Kaan Yildirim, and Sarp Bozkurt star. Karahan’s credits include the 2021 Berlinale selection Brother’s Keeper.
For the first time this year under an Academy rule change announced last spring, a non-English-language winner of Platform will be eligible for the best international feature film Oscar.
