Xalko is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Sami Mermer and Hind Benchekroun and released in 2018.[1] The film profiles Mermer's own birthplace of Xalko, a Kurdish village in Turkey where the women are preserving Kurdish tradition after most of the men have left as refugees from the Kurdish–Turkish conflict.[2]

The film premiered in November 2018 at the Montreal International Documentary Festival.[3] It won the Prix Iris for Best Documentary Film at the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards in 2020,[4] and Mermer received a nomination for Best Cinematography in a Documentary.[5]
