“In Limbo” by Harun Güler
IN LIMBO features a series of intimate vignettes of taboo-breaking personalities from Istanbul free from clichés and expectations.
In Limbo plays with subversion. In one scene a masculine group is gathered on the shore talking about hooking up with girls, before one person jumps in the water to reveal top surgery scars. In another, a belly dancer twists in the desert, kicking up dust and sand before lifting their veil to reveal a moustache.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
“IN LIMBO investigates the gap between cultures, identities and genders. I wanted to show queer personalities outside the norms, free from clichés and expectations. Each vignette in the film has its own narrative approach, sitting somewhere between documentary and fiction - aiming to also challenge the audience’s viewing habits.”
- Harun
