DJ Ahmet

Reel Time features some of the best films from the Toronto International Film Festival. Organized by Banff Centre, Reel Time has brought alternative cinema to the Bow Valley for over fifteen years.

Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, 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.
