Crossing — A Film from Georgia Directed by Levan Akin
Lia, a retired teacher living in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, made a promise to her
now-dead sister to fi nd out what happened to her transgender niece Tekla, who she hasn't
seen since the girl's transphobic parents disowned her. When Lia learns from her neighbor
Achi that Tekla might be living in Turkey, they set off to fi nd her in Istanbul where they are
aided by Evrim, a lawyer fi ghting for trans rights. As Lia and Achi weave their way through
the backstreets, they discover a beautiful city full of connections and possibilities and Tekla
starts to feel closer than ever. But the mission is harder than they thought as Lia realizes
"Istanbul is a place where people come to disappear."
A powerfully empathetic, acutely composed follow-up to his fi lm And Then We Danced,
Crossing earned Levan Akin nominations for the Panorama Audience Award and Best
Feature Film at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival, where he received the Jury Award.
Starring: Mzia Arabuli, Lucas Kankava, Deniz Dumanli
Running Time: 106 minutes • Print Courtesy of: MUBI • In Georgian & Turkish with English Subtitles
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Director Levan Akin.
