Turkish student Ugur Egemen Ires was allowed to present his ‘Water found its way’ movie during the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival.

As the Istanbul based Armenian paper Akos informs, Ugur Egemen Ires had mentioned that he was very touched after reading Hrant Dink’s ‘Water found its way’ story which tells about a woman who was coming to Turkey every year from France and in the end she dies in Svas (Sebastia), Turkey.

“The story has a humanitarian spirit. I was very touched when I read how the villagers took care of that woman. The story was very honest. In 2012 I decided to turn the story into a short film. I met the staff of Akos and Hrant Dink’s daughter. They wished that the spirit of the story were preserved in the film. The villagers also have roles in the film,” the young film director mentioned adding that while screening the film he did not intend to participate in Cannes Film Festival.
