Synopsis
On one hand, a campaign by a group of women in Newcastle trying to save their historic Turkish Baths from closure. On the other hand, kindled by her childhood memories, a town planner embarks on a journey to find out more about the historic baths in the UK. The documentary tells the intertwined story of women trying to preserve shared experience and memories that our cities, places and buildings invoke in us.

I was born in Istanbul and worked as a town planner in London for 27 years.I am now focussing on making documentaries which explore relationships between cities and people. I use film making to explore through my characters how cities affect people's lives and also my own feelings about places. I had tuition on documentary film making including editing and camera work via London –based Folie A Deux company. Stranger by the Sea, my second short film won the Best documentary Award in Berlin Short Film Festival 2020.
