Winner of an Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival, DJ AHMET is about a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia who finds refuge in music while navigating his father's expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else.

Writer/Director Georgi M. Unkovski makes his delightful feature film debut with this inspiring tribute to the unifying power of music at any age, as well as the unexpected freedoms it can provide. Uplifted by warm humour, lovable characters, and an unsurprisingly catchy soundtrack, DJ AHMET casts a welcome spell that reverberates long after the last joyous note.
