Tugrul Sarikaya in Balkancisco (2023)
Balkancisco - From Balkans to San Francisco. Balkan music unites the world one beat at a time! (TV Version) En The Story of the Evolution of Balkan Music in San Francisco Bay Area 4K Directed by Tugrul Sarikaya Creative Producer: Duygu Gun Director of Photography Ozgen Goksoy Writer: Duygu Güun, Tugrul Sarikaya Balkancisco is a documentary that explores the powerful influence of Balkan music in San Francisco Bay Area. Through the personal stories of musicians from different cultural backgrounds, the film highlights how this music transcends borders and unites people from diverse backgrounds. While traditionally Eastern Europeans have disagreements, Balkan music connects them as a common heritage when they are abroad. The documentary aims to create intercultural awareness and showcase the vibrant community of Balkan musicians in San Francisco. Rather than being a comprehensive historical documentary, it focuses on the emotional journey of the musicians as they share their experiences learning and playing Balkan music. Through their stories, the audience gains a deeper understanding of how music can bridge cultural divides and bring people together. Story Summary In "Balkancisco" we follow the story of a Turkish girl named Duygu, who moves to San Francisco in search of a feeling of home in her voluntary exile. While exploring the city, she stumbles upon the ever-growing Balkan music scene in the Bay Area and is immediately drawn into this vibrant community.
