Two screenings of the film took place in Istanbul. The first as part of a series of screenings on view at the French Institute, and the second in collaboration with Bilgi University for its performing arts students. Both screenings ended with a discussion with the artist.

Thanks to the Consulate General of Switzerland in Istanbul we were able to add Turkish subtitles to the film.

THE FILM

“Wonder is everything! It’s the surge of life that’s all around us and all inside us.”

How to create a world of your own? Push back the limits of your imagination?

THE WONDER WAY is an exploration in search of extraordinary territories or celestial paradises, intriguing and uncharted . A journey out of time, seeking encounters with those who imagine other worlds within this world. A breath of freedom towards the most striking universes.
