Synopsis

In Turkey, once every year, about 1.5 million young people take the infamous Student Selection Exam hoping to have the right to a university education. “3 HOURS” focuses on the personal dimension of this “life-and-death matter” by following the lives of 6 high school seniors for a year, observing and witnessing their experiences before, during and after this exam. The thoughts, emotions and experiences of the candidates and those around them are not sifted through any kind of scientific procedure and are represented as directly as possible, as the filmmakers are the observers,ing witnesses, guestsintruders, and guests inof the lives of these young women and men.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
