Burning Days (Turkish: Kurak Günler) is a Turkish-French drama film, directed by Emin Alper and released in 2022. The film centres on Emre (Selahattin Paşalı), a lawyer newly appointed as the state prosecutor in a small drought-ridden town plagued by sinkholes, who is drawn into political conflicts around local corruption, with his authority challenged both by being drugged at a party where a young woman named Peknez (Eylul Ersoz) was raped, as well as by allegations that he is having a sexual relationship with Murat (Ekin Koç), the editor of the local anti-establishment newspaper.

In December 2022, well after the film had already premiered both at Cannes and Antalya, the Turkish General Directorate of Cinema demanded repayment of the production funding it had granted to the film. Although they did not officially state a reason for the demand, it was believed to relate to the controversy around the film's LGBTQ themes.
