So often Istanbul is presented on its mega-scale, which is one reality, but I love this short documentary for its focus on the daily sounds of life in the city. A Turkish friend of ours posted this on Facebook and in his commentary he points out how these sounds, this way of life is disappearing with each new shopping mall or massive apartment complex. I can say from recent experience that it's not gone yet!
Here's the link to the vimeo site so you can read more about the filmmaker and the awards this film has won.

"I've come and I've gone"--very aptly named, very existential.
Oops. . ."I've come and I'm gone"--even better!
Thanks Nataly. Evocative and like the great philosophy major, Mary, says - "very existential"

Hi Becky,
I just thought it was a comment on the absurdism of existentialism :)
