The Remnant, a poetry film based on a poem written in the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck Türkiye in 2023, claiming the lives of approximately 60,000 people, pays tribute to resilience and the struggle for survival. Blending the ancient will of King Antiochus I of Commagene (69–34 BC), found on Mount Nemrut, which lies within the 2023 earthquake zone and has withstood hundreds of natural disasters to this day, with Anatolia’s deep-rooted healing traditions, the film offers a meditation on continuity amidst loss.
