STRAY
Director/Producer/Cinematographer/Editor: Elizabeth Lo
72 mins | USA | Turkish, English
Official Selection: 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, 2020 DOC NYC
Through the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul, and explore what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter, Zeytin, Nazar, and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allows us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture. Their disparate lives intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.
Whether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages, protesters without arms, refugees without sanctuary. STRAY is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.
All rentals are $12
The film will be available for 72 hours after purchase.

Films are released to Video On Demand by various distributors, who create a specific link for NFF patrons to use so that NFF receives a portion of the ticket sales. Once you purchase a virtual ticket to stream the film, you will have a limited amount of time to watch it, set by the distributor.
