Devizes Film Club is delighted to present the acclaimed coming-of-age drama DJ Ahmet at the Wharf Theatre, Devizes, on Thursday 27 August 2026 at 7.30pm…..
Fresh from international festival success, DJ Ahmet has captured audiences worldwide with its heartwarming blend of music, humour, family drama and youthful rebellion. Written and directed by Georgi M. Unkovski, the film won the World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, as well as a Special Jury Award for Creative Vision.
Set in a remote rural village in North Macedonia, the film follows 15-year-old Ahmet, a shepherd with a dream of becoming a DJ.

With stunning landscapes, memorable characters and an infectious soundtrack, DJ Ahmet offers a moving and often funny story about finding your own voice. Critics have praised the film’s charm, emotional warmth and universal appeal, describing it as both a crowd-pleaser and an uplifting portrait of youth, music and hope.
