DJ Ahmet

Pre-Release Screening

Winner of the Sundance World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award and a Special Jury Award for Creative Vision. Sheep hit the dancefloor in Georgi M. Unkovski's disarming feature debut, a touching, comic and radiantly colourful coming-of-age story about the unifying power of music.

A wistful 15-year-old from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, Ahmet has a lot on his plate after the loss of his mother, including herding sheep and caring for his kid brother. Weighed down by his father’s rules, he’s also bound by their conservative wider community. He finds an unlikely refuge in techno music, which brings him closer to Aya, but she’s already promised to someone else…

"A real crowd-pleaser and feel-good movie that invites you to become the "pink" sheep of the
family. Yes, you will meet that literal sheep in the movie, but, in a way, so are Ahmet and Aya." Mondo Cine
