About the film
TEOS: The Call of Dionysus traces the organisation founded in ancient Teos in the third century BCE and regarded as the world’s first artists’ guild. Centring on the solidarity created when artists acted collectively, the documentary explores art’s transformative power within social memory.
Produced through Bir Nevi Medya’s artistic journalism approach, the film brings Mert Ruscuklu’s historical research together with AI-assisted cinematic reconstructions. The artistic spirit and solidarity of antiquity are carried into the present through a contemporary visual language.
