Learning New Ways on Summer Days

By Tanner Sell

Yaz günleri is a short film from Director Isue Shin that tackles ideas of emotional maturity for a high school student who is just coming of age. We come across these emotions alongside the student firsthand and view, with no words needed, the personal revelations that occur. Isue Shin pushes us to question the fleeting nature of these moments and poses the consequences of putting a box around them with names.

Yaz günleri has a very subdued, liminal approach that subtly speaks on the quiet internal revelation that seems to be always around the corner, but never in time to act on it. After these moments that mature us all, the true learning and development can only occur afterwards. We can only view the picture once it has been taken, not while it is being captured. By learning how to do so, we “come to age” in a unique, but collectively shared way.

Isue Shin brilliantly uses her videography skills to eloquently convey these ideas and messages in the short film, Yaz günleri. While burning slowly through the opening half, the culmination of memorable moments leads to an excitingly insightful ending.

This is a beautiful and powerful short film, and I’m pleased to rate it 4 dışında 5 stars.
