Kedi: More Than a Film About Cats—A Deep Dive into Istanbul’s Soul

Kedi, the acclaimed 2016 Turkish documentary by Ceyda Torun, is far more than a film about cats.

With evocative cinematography and intimate narrative, the documentary offers viewers an immersive glimpse into the lives of Istanbul’s street cats—creatures who roam freely through the city’s lively streets, markets, and homes, weaving themselves into the very fabric of urban life.
