About
Hi, I’m Melek Bahçe, a creative filmmaker and visual storyteller with a Master’s in Lens-Based Media and a Bachelor’s in Film Directing. I combine a strong foundation in theory with hands-on experience across fiction, documentary, and experimental formats. I love crafting emotionally resonant narratives and building immersive visual worlds.
I’m passionate about exploring themes of identity, memory, and transformation, and I thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments where storytelling serves as a tool for both introspection and social connection.
