Zenne Dancer is a feature film about an unusual trio: DANIEL, a German photo-journalist in Istanbul without much knowledge about Middle Eastern values. CAN, a flamboyant, out and proud male belly dancer with lots of love and support from his family, and AHMET born to an eastern and conservative family whose quest for honesty and liberty results in a tragic end.
The film is based on the true story of Ahmet Yildiz, a 26-year-old gay man who lived proudly and openly in Istanbul, and was tragically shot to death back in 2008 leaving a cafe near the Bosphorus Strait. The main suspect is Yildiz's father Yahya, who was so distraught that his son was in a gay relationship he would rather see him dead than live his life as he wanted. Yahya is currently on the run and is wanted by Turkish police. Zenne Dancer was written and co-directed by Ahmet's friends Caner Alper and Alper's partner Mehmet Binay.
