Film: DJ Ahmet (Cert: Club)

About the film

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: Sundance 2025 World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award and the Special Jury Award for Creative Vision

‘Georgi M. Unkovski’s coming-of-age comedy finds much to smile about in a North Macedonian village where conservative traditions clash with modern times’

Toronto Star

‘The sort of film that urges one to tell everyone about it so that they too can bask in its wondrous pleasures, DJ Ahmet is a revelation in that it seamlessly straddles the line between laugh-out-loud crowd-pleaser and art-house gem with affecting gravitas’

Variety

‘(Has) enough charm to engage any audience. Plus, there's a pink sheep who is frankly iconic.’
