Ink Films, the theatrical distribution arm of The Beverly Theater in Downtown Las Vegas, has released the official trailer for “DJ Ahmet,” the Sundance-winning debut feature from Macedonian filmmaker Georgi M. Unkovski. The film, described as a music-soaked, crowd-pleasing coming-of-age story, will open exclusively in theaters nationwide in early 2026.

A breakout hit at the Sundance Film Festival and one of the festival’s most talked-about debuts, “DJ Ahmet” earned the World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award and the Special Jury Award for Creative Vision, standing out for its authenticity and emotional resonance.

Set in a remote Yürük village in North Macedonia, the film follows a 15-year-old shepherd who discovers electronic music, first love and ultimately his own voice amid family pressures and rigid community expectations.

As he navigates heartbreak, identity and cultural tradition, his musical awakening becomes a refuge and revolution, capturing the universal urgency of self-expression in a world determined to shape who we become.

“Ink Films was founded to champion bold, artist-driven storytelling,” said Kip Kelly, Founding CXO of Ink Films and The Beverly Theater. “ ‘DJ Ahmet’ is a reminder of how music can open worlds culturally and creatively. It’s a film that resonates far beyond its setting. We’re looking forward to bringing this story to U.S. theaters and audiences.”

The trailer is now available at InkFilms.com and on Ink Films’ social channels. Theater locations and opening dates will be announced in the coming weeks. For booking inquiries, visit InkFilms.com.
