DJ Ahmet

Opens Friday, April 3, 2026

Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else.

Winner of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award, World Dramatic section, and a Special Jury Prize for Creative Vision.
