The Outsider

The film delves into the social contract established in the Gezi community and the new forms of public agency explored in/after Gezi. It focuses on the group dynamics and narratives as well as the individual interactions within three civil movements: Northern Forests Defense, an environmentalist group acting against the neoliberal exploitation of Istanbul’s main naturallungs; Kamp Armen, a non-violent occupation protecting a historical Armenian orphanage; and the Istanbul’s LGBTQIA+ community, which acquired a higher  lever of social visibility after Gezi.
