DJ AHMET
Gallery Night at the Movies presents:
DJ AHMET October 20 at Galaxy Cinemas in Owen Sound
Screening Times: 1pm, 4pm, and 7pm
Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else. The film delves into the challenges of growing up in a traditional setting while simultaneously discovering one’s own identity, tracing the universal human need to express oneself, and how art — in this case, music — can become both a refuge and a catalyst for change.
