How the Room Felt is the story of a team of queer, non-binary and lesbian footballers in Kutaisi, Georgia. The documentary focuses on the unifying power of football and the creation of a safe space among queers, in an atmosphere where pride marches are cancelled and LGBTI+ people are not welcomed by society. The film also witnesses a lot of kiki, partying and romantic relationships during the team’s meetings. The documentary tells the story of how a group whose daily reality consists of discrimination, exclusion and violence shows solidarity when they come together, protects and loves each other.
Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
