JOURNEY BY NIGHT |
There are a number of bars in Vienna where similar stories could happen. What they have in common is an atmosphere which becomes tangible as soon as one enters, a feeling of intruding in a closed system, a world with its own rules and rituals - lonely islands of hopes, dreams and isolation. | |
| What fascinated me most by these “closed societies” is the extent to which the personal stories are universally valid. A JOURNEY BY NIGHT, possibly with different characters from different lands, could happen in any other large European city such as Paris or Berlin. | ||
| JOURNEY BY NIGHT was filmed in Turkish and then subtitled. In order to give it the greatest possible authenticity, I used only amateurs I have met in Vienna who live as refugees or homeless or unemployed persons. |
