Our project "Ozan" begins with Sam, a European photography student who travels to the Kurdish mountains with two goals: to keep a promise to her long-lost friend and at the same time take the perfect photos for her final project at university. But when Sam meets Ozan - a local man - her journey takes an unexpected turn. Through a series of misunderstandings and unforeseen events, the two continue on together. In the process, they are not only forced to question their own choices and values, but also confronted with aspects of each other's past.

At its core, Ozan is a story about the realization that regardless of our origins, we are united by our feelings and memories.

This makes "Ozan" a project that promotes exchange and understanding between cultures. With your support, we can realize this short film and thereby send a strong signal about the importance of empathy and mutual respect.
The film is intended to show how engaging with another culture not only leads to personal development, but also to a deeper connection between people.

If you are interested in film, Kurdish culture, or in promoting the Swiss film industry, then this is the perfect opportunity to get involved.
With your donation, you are not only supporting the creation of a short film, but also helping to ensure that the people involved in the project receive fair payment for their work. We rely on transparent and fair financing that respects the rights and needs of everyone involved.

Be a part of "Ozan" - let's build another bridge between two cultures together and tell a story that connects people.

Actress / Screenwriter

As an actress and screenwriter, I have long wanted to realize one of my short films. Over the last few years, I have had the pleasure of getting to know some Kurdish people and gain a bit of understanding of their culture and challenges. Now I want to do my part to bring their stories to the big screen.
