Black / White & the "Other Colours", 4min., Turkey
Directed by Do?a Y?lmaz
A man gets ready to go out. When he steps outside and integrates into society, he becomes a different person. While walking, he sees a woman he knows, and both of them pause, exchanging a gaze before continuing on their paths. When they turn back and exchange glances again, the man changes. The woman, however, continues exploring the city streets. In the evening, as she returns home, she sees a man, different from the one she previously encountered, sitting on the stairs, drinking wine. The woman transforms and sits next to the man.

This new transformative short-film plays on the human fear of alien colonization, the desire to live forever and a global Armageddon to create quite a good end-of-the-world story.
