DJ Ahmet (PG)

Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yörük village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else.

Winner of both the Audience Award and the Special Jury Award for Creative Vision at the Sundance Film Festival 2025, the coming-of-age drama follows 15-year-old Ahmet, a boy growing up in a remote Yörük village in North Macedonia who finds freedom and self-expression through dance music while navigating family expectations, tradition, and first love.

Following its international festival run, including screenings at the BFI London Film Festival, 'DJ AHMET' arrives in Hitchin.
