The Metamorphosis of Birds Screening

Birds carry the dreams of humankind.

A divine calling to the cinema: The Metamorphosis of Birds comes to Istanbul and Ankara, presented by Othon.

Remembering does not bring back those we have lost; it teaches us how to live with them.

Photographs hidden away in family albums, ships setting sail across the sea, those left behind, and memories passed down from one generation to the next…

Portuguese filmmaker Catarina Vasconcelos’ poetic masterpiece—a gift to our times—follows the idea that “The dead do not die; they simply continue to exist in other forms.” Through this meditation, it brings the transformative power of memory and love to the big screen. Beginning with the story of a single family, The Metamorphosis of Birds becomes an unforgettable journey into our shared past.
