Department of Communication and Design 2021 graduate and current MFA student Nur Özkaya received the Giovanni Scognamillo Best Fantasy Film award at the 55th SİYAD (Turkish Film Critics Association) Awards for her short animation film, “There Is Nothing Called Home.”
The film tells the story of a person who is stuck with the concept of home and attaches a lot of meaning to small things, choosing herself as a weapon at a Russian roulette table and the battle of her inner roulette.
Nur’s first experimental animated film, “Fish Out of Water,” won the special selections of more than 20 different festivals. She aims to reflect and be understood in a way that would appeal to the audience visually, by reflecting a part of herself, the subjects that society sees, as a red line.
