Kedi – Ceyda Torun(Istanbul, Turkey) - Hundreds of thousands of cats freely
roam the streets of Istanbul, Turkey’s capital city. Wandering in and out of peo-
ple’s lives, they are an essential part of the small neighborhoods that make up
the daily life of the city. Claiming no owners, the cats of Istanbul live between
two worlds, neither wild nor tame — and they bring joy and purpose to the care-
takers who feed and look after them. Filmmaker Ceyda Torun presents endear-
ing and intimate portraits of eight such cats and their caretakers. Closely fol-
lowing along, as the cats nimbly navigate their way through Istanbul’s streets,
this tender-hearted documentary presents the city through the eyes of its most
free-spirited citizens: its felines. In Turkish, subtitled. 2017; 80 min. A Benefit
Screening for the Scarlet Paws Animal Welfare Network (SPAWN)!
