Yuva Ugur Cuya

Behind the lens, I explore life's layers. With Miki Film Collective, I documented urban stories.

My cycling journey from Istanbul to Tehran, started with Kinocycle, captured life's rhythm ("Cinatı"). This led me to the wisdom of soil and labor ("Temiz Bir Çiftlik," "Kırsala Göç"), and documenting urban greenery ("Şehir Bahçeleri").

My 2024 film "SatChitAnanda: Belgin" won Best Experimental Doc. "Antroposen'in Reddi" was selected by the EU Human Rights Competition on the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

Currently, I'm researching the link between Buddhism, Sufism, and Anicca (constant change) for a new documentary in Thailand.
