DJ Ahmet
Audience Award, World Cinema Dramatic, Sundance 2025
In Turkish and Macedonian with English subtitles
Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yörük 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 sort of film that urges one to tell everyone about it so that they too can bask in its wondrous pleasures, DJ Ahmet is a revelation in that it seamlessly straddles the line between laugh-out-loud crowd-pleaser and art-house gem with affecting gravitas.” Variety
“Georgi M. Unkovski’s coming-of-age comedy finds much to smile about in a North Macedonian village where conservative traditions clash with modern times.” Toronto Star
