D J Ahmet
"DJ Ahmet" is a 2025 drama film, directed and written by Georgi M. Unkovski, which follows the life of Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yurok village in rural North Macedonia.
Ahmet has a lot on his plate after the loss of his mother, including herding sheep and caring for his kid brother. Weighed down by his father’s rules, he’s also bound by his conservative wider community. He finds an unlikely refuge in techno music, which brings him closer to his neighbour Aya who he worships like a goddess. Aya has lived in Germany but is back to be married off to an older man in the village; he’s bashful and adorable; she’s worldly-wise.
The film had its world premiere at the World Cinema Competition section of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival where it won the section's Audience Award.
"A touching, comic and radiantly colourful coming-of-age story about the unifying power of music."
