Gazelle

Gazelle (2026)

Yakup, a Turkish music teacher seeking asylum in New York, is separated from his wife and young daughter, who remain under surveillance back home. When his asylum case stalls, he faces an impossible choice: wait years for legal reunification or risk everything to bring his family out by dangerous, clandestine means. Alone in an unfamiliar city, Yakup becomes increasingly consumed by the distance between himself and his family. As the wait stretches on, his obsession with reuniting his family begins to warp his sense of time, memory and reality. The more desperate he becomes, the less certain he is of who to trust and what is happening around him.

Curiosidades

Gazelle is a 2025 American independent drama film directed by Nadir Sarıbacak and Samy Pioneer in their feature directorial debuts. Written by Sarıbacak and Ayhan Hulagu, the film stars Sarıbacak as Yakup, a Turkish music teacher who migrates to New York following political unrest in Turkey and struggles to reunite with his family.

Production

Gazelle was produced by Roaring Cat Films in association with ArtVertora Production. Cinematography was handled by Lasse Ulvedal Tolbøll, DFF, with editing by Samy Pioneer and original score by Ichika Kanagawa.

Sarıbacak began writing the screenplay with Hulagu during his early years in the United States, while working as a ride-share driver; the two drew on the experiences of friends who had been separated from their families. The film's title comes from a parable about a pregnant gazelle trapped between a hunter and a lion, which opens the film.
