Second day of filming on Turkish borders went really well. We met new people, visited the family who probably are going to be the main characters of the Turkish part of the film, filmed the fair of villages that takes place every summer. The latter was basically a party in the middle of a deserted area with some hundreds of people. People were drinking, dancing and singing, and of course, everything ended with a huge fight, where everyone was happy to take a part. We managed to drive away just in time.
We also visited Turkish “yailas” (tent villages, where people take their animals in summers), filmed a very interesting conversation in a tent, where we heard a lot of new facts and stories about the relations of the two villages we are filming in. The fact that they don’t know where we come from makes it more interesting, as they are being really honest.
The day was interesting and quite full, although the unstable weather and the strong wind made everything a bit more difficult. But the trip goes on, and every day promises to be more exciting than the previous one.
