DJ Ahmet

What's it about?

Director & screenplay: Georgi M. Unkovski, Macedonia/Czech Republic/Serbia/Croatia 2025, feature film, 100 minutes Thursday, November 12, 7:00 PM The 14-year-old Ahmet lives in a remote village in North Macedonia, where tradition and modernity clash. He would prefer to attend school, but his father needs him on the dilapidated farm – to herd sheep and care for his younger brother Naim. When Ahmet stumbles upon an illegal techno party in the forest one night, his life suddenly becomes colorful. He is fascinated by the music and by Aya, a rebellious peer he meets. Electronic music becomes for Ahmet not just sound, but an expression of longing, freedom, and self-determination. He develops a desire to break free from the expectations of his conservative community.
