Black Box

Synopsis

Note d'intention

We are part of societies governed by a widespread affliction called fear and its by-product insecurity. Everyone is a potential suspect and paranoia is the norm. It is the post-truth period. Honesty collapses and lying is an acceptable strategy in politics. Although I envisioned the courtyard as the mini-model of a country inspired by the current state of affairs in my home country Turkey, I intend to devise the sub-plots in the film as a reflection of increasing status of emergency all around the world. As such, I’d like to have an eye on people’s sudden and unexpected transformation in an oppressive environment and the consequential moments of tragicomical quality. My aim is to achieve a style that balances tension with black humor.
