AFC Film Screening - DJ Ahmet

Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else. The film delves into the challenges of growing up in a traditional setting while simultaneously discovering one’s own identity, tracing the universal human need to express oneself, and how art — in this case, music — can become both a refuge and a catalyst for change.
