A documentary about İstanbul’s crowded, colorful, noisy sounds which is chanted by street vendors. One sells cake, one repairs quilts, one announces the discounts in the market. I’ve come and I’m gone underlines the inseparable connection of human sound and “street marketing.”

Our take

In this soulful short, the rhythm of Istanbul’s streets is captured with a keen ear and a tender heart. Metin Akdemir’s playfully resonant documentary finds echoes of the city’s rich traditions and the subtle vanishing of its past through the symphony of everyday life.
