75. Berlinale

The film Hysteria celebrates its world premiere at the 75th Berlinale at Zoo Palast in front of 800 guests.

When a burned Quran is found on a film set, the production spirals out of control. Intern Elif is drawn into a dangerous game of secrets, accusations, and lies. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s multilayered, provocative conspiracy thriller plays with the film-within-a-film concept and is full of unexpected twists – a precise reflection on the power of images and the dynamics of perception, projection, and societal hysteria.
