45. Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, Best Director, Best Director of Photography Award , 27th International Istanbul Film Festival, Best Turkish Director Award

Dot is the story of a man tormented by a crime he once committed, who now seeks to redeem himself. The action, which advances along an axis of crime and punishment, organically incorporates one of Turkey’s traditional art forms, calligraphy, into the story. One of the most striking ways in which calligraphy marks both language and content is the film’s structure as a single, fluid shot.
