ÇEVIRMEN
THE TRANSLATOR
Emre Kayiş / United Kingdom / 2015 / 22 min / Colour
Italian premiere
Yusuf, a young, timid Syrian boy, lives as a refugee in a remote town on the Turkish border. In the mountain quarry where he works, he meets and grows fond of young Amina, who seems completely disinterested in him. One day, out of the blue, the girl makes a date with him at the amusement park. Yusuf prepares himself carefully, but his efforts are useless. What did Amina want? A friend, or simply an interpreter? The youth's expression changes; his innocence is lost and on his face we see the bitterness that no revenge can mitigate.

Emre Kayiş
Born in 1984 in Ankara, Turkey, he earned a degree in law, but decided to follow the career in the arts that he dreamed of since childhood. He therefore took a degree in directing from the London Film School in 2014. The short film, Çevirmen, making its Italian premiere at the Film Festival della Lessinia 2016, was his final degree project.
