Ahmet is a teenage shepherd from North Macedonia, a young man who loves music and is frustrated by his father’s short-sightedness and community’s limitations. Falling hard for Aya, a girl in the village, he discovers her dance troupe is performing in the village festival. With his younger brother’s help, our hero transforms into DJ Ahmet, in Georgi M. Unkovski’s magical feature debut.

With its young cast, colorful cinematography and infectious music, DJ Ahmet is a celebration, a film that both honors the past and embraces the present, and this crowd pleaser won a Special Jury Prize and an Audience Award at 2025 Sundance.
