Healers, Midwives, Witches is an experimental documentary that traces connections between village midwives and the figures of healers and witches found in historical archives. Moving between archival engravings from London and intimate conversations with the filmmaker’s grandmother and great-aunt, former midwives in rural southeast Turkey, the film brings different times and places into dialogue. Through archives and oral histories, recurring gestures, rituals, and ways of care reappear across centuries. The film approaches the witch not as a myth, but as a figure shaped by fear, control, and misogyny, carried forward through women’s memory, labour, and survival.

Víctor is thinking about his friend Mario. Mario was a little nervous in the summer of 2024. He was falling in love with Sara, a girl he met on twitter around that time, and he's an overthinker... Everytime he started overthinking stuff, he went outside to find some calm and solace in nature. For years, Mario and Víctor have been talking about their concerns with the limitations and contradictions in the relationship between representation and identity. But lately, this conversation has tilted especially towards the problematics in the representation of landscapes and nature. They always try looking beyond the western capitalist framework to find new possibilities, forever in search of that formless great image. However, Mario's too in love to concentrate on these topics like he usually does... all he can think of is how much he wishes Sara was there with him: to look at that sunset together, to be together (in) that same space and time.
