The Other Town

The Other Town, 2010
Director: Nefin Dinç, 45’, Color, Turkish with English subtitles

Why do neighbors fight? How does animosity and prejudice between ethnic groups arise? How and why is animosity re-produced? This documentary is about the people of two towns and how they see “the other side”; Birgi in Western Anatolia, which the Greeks seized in the past, and Dimitsana in the Peloponnese, which was once in Ottoman hands.
