It is worth watching
Kurdish cinema still struggles to find its footing, and honestly, it's not surprising given the many challenges it faces. There's the constant issue of low budgets, which makes it hard to produce high-quality films. On top of that, there aren't many professional actors available, and government support is pretty limited. All these factors make it tough for filmmakers to take risks or invest in truly original ideas. Unfortunately, this has led many directors to lean on Persian and Turkish films as templates instead of exploring their own unique stories and voices.
That's why 1988 feels like such a breath of fresh air. Even with limited resources, the filmmakers managed to create something genuinely impactful and meaningful. It shows that despite the hurdles, great Kurdish cinema is possible. Of course, it's not perfect. With a bigger budget and a more fully fleshed-out story, 1988 could have been even more powerful. Still, it's an important step forward, and it gives hope that Kurdish cinema will continue to grow and develop its own identity in the years to come.
