Taşkafa, Stories of the Street

The film features John Berger, who narrates Taşkafa’s story by reading from his novel, King. Through this narrative, viewers gain insight into the lives of ordinary people in Istanbul, including taxi drivers, shopkeepers, and street traders, who care for the city's street dogs.

Taşkafa serves as a symbol of community and highlights the bond between people and animals. The film addresses the challenges faced by this community as dogs are increasingly being displaced. It critiques the effects of global politics and economic changes on public spaces while celebrating the spirit of resilience and coexistence in urban life.
