In the current online edition of the Visions du Réel festival stands out the international competitive section Burning Lights, which is dedicated to formal experimentations and new expressive explorations in recent documentary cinema. Among the section’s films, Mimaroglu: The Robinson of Manhattan Island (2020), the first feature film by Turkish director Serdar Kökçeoglu, creates an audiovisual portrait of the avant-garde and little-known Turkish electronic music composer, Ilhan Mimaroglu.
