Levan Akin's multi-award-winning Crossing captures the vibrancy and colour of Istanbul, with diverse communities from different directions being drawn to its bustling Mediterranean hub. What starts out as a road movie becomes more than a mere search for a loved one, it is also a warmly observed paean to inclusivity and chosen families.
'An elegy of travel and trans life which ebbs and flows between Georgia and Istanbul … dream-like.'
