Hey Everyone – SPRING HAS ARRIVED!! We are pleased to bring you this heartwarming film: STRAY, 2021, US, 72 min, Unrated (Turkish with English Subtitles)
Check out the trailer here: https://youtu.be/uC38BqP2_fI
STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security, following three stray dogs as they embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society. Zeytin, fiercely independent, embarks on adventures through the city at night; Nazar, nurturing and protective, easily befriends the humans around her; while Kartal, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site, finds companions in the security guards who care for her. The strays’ disparate lives intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians with whom they share the streets. Director Elizabeth Lo’s award-winning film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.
STRAY currently holds a 96% Fresh Rating on RottenTomatoes.com!
“Lo’s affecting film helps us glimpse the lives of those around us who are often overlooked, whether they walk the streets of Istanbul on four legs or two.” – Kimber Myers, Los Angeles Times
“Lo inspects both the faultlines and fringes of the Turkish society and ponders profound philosophical questions concerning humanity.” – Tomris Laffly, Variety
