Krizalit Among 35 Short Films Announced for the 2025 Iris Prize Competition

Krizalit follows Deniz, an enigmatic young woman drawn into the vibrant life of modern Turkey. Alternating between the euphoria of her love with a Turkish woman, Melisa, and the weight of feeling like an outsider, the story weaves subtle hints about Deniz’s true nature – inviting contemplation on identity and belonging. Set against the backdrop of a country in flux, “Krizalit” delicately portrays the healing journey of existing within a city so capable of profound love, yet at times challenged to extend that love to others.
