Keçi501 / Goat501

In the organizer's words:

37th Turkish Film Festival

A poetic docudrama that follows Cengiz, a shepherd of small stature who lives in the highlands of the Turkish Black Sea coast. The film begins with the birth of a goat and ends a year later with the birth of her own kid - a silent, timeless cycle. Above all, however, it is the story of Cengiz himself. Cengiz lives a life outside the boundaries of the economy, society and time. He becomes part of nature and a goat 501. GOAT501 invites viewers to experience the rhythm of nature, where silence, simplicity and deep connection replace conventional storytelling.

For ten days, the 37th Turkish Film Festival 2026 Munich presents feature films, documentaries and short films at the Royal Filmpalast and Gasteig HP8. They tell of escapes from reality, of inequality and solidarity, of being a woman and a mother, of the power of art and imagination. They provide an insight into what is currently moving society and into the turbulent years of its history. Touching, moving and often with a good pinch of humor!
