Presentation of new film by documentary filmmaker Bircan Birol.
An immigrant filmmaker, stirred by the unexpected visit of gurbet, the feeling of being far from home, sets out to trace its path. Within the Fragments of Gurbet brings together the journeys of fellow migrants and refugees as they map their own version of Glasgow through places of loss, connection, and belonging, seeking to make sense of home within a new place, and the fragments of what it once was.
Film screening followed by discussion.
