About Zübeyde Bulut

Zübeyde Bulut was born 1986 in Besiri, Turkey.
In 1989 the Buluts family fled their home, moving to northern Germany due to their Yezidi belief and political views.

Since then Zübeyde has shot in four other feature films.
"Atlas/The Mover" (2018), which was nominated and won many prizes in Germany and the UK as well as Florian Hoffmann`s feature film "Stille Post" (release in 2020) and 2023 broadcasted on public television.

In the Polnish blockbuster "Zenek" (2020) Bulut, took on the challenge of playing in the Polnish and Sinti languages.
On the small screen she shot in the international Belgian series "Black-Out" (2021), directed by Joel Vanhoenbrouck in a large supporting role.
In 2021/22, the novel "Die Krabbenwanderung" by Karosh Taha was broadcast on the public radio station in which Zübeyde played the main speaker, Saana, who speaks German and Kurdish directed by Mizgin Bilmen.
