Filmmaker's note
In his first short film Border, Dogan depicts the struggle of a young man to abstain from all that the other side represents; be that insanity, sickness, or death. As clear in its title, Border is the portrayal of that thin line where the mundane and the sane coincide with uncanniness of the subconscious.
