The Man From The North (2024)

Kadir İnanır writes in order to not forget every moment of his early professional life. This process of recording is not limited to writing. He consolidates this archive first with photographs and then with images. His archive includes behind-the-scenes footage from many films, thousands of photographs, some of the costumes he used in his films and priceless diaries. Hüseyin Karabey, who has been filming Kadir İnanır at regular intervals for about 13 years, based on his yet-to-be-published autobiography, shares with us an important part of the history of Turkish cinema through the actor’s testimony.

Singing in Dark Times (2024)
0 /10
Perhaps the city is what remains after the buildings, streets, and memories that hold the city together are buried under ruins. Maybe a ’voice’ will gather all this ruin and bring it together. The Hatay Academy Symphony Orchestra has set out for this. One rail of this ’high-speed train’, which is heading towards disaster faster and faster, is the ’state of emergency’ and the other rail is ’debris’. To change today, we all need to pull the emergency brake, we need to stop this train. Artists from Hatay are in solidarity for this journey. A year has passed and they have turned our pain into something bearable. Without them, this pain would be insupportable.

Only Blockbusters Left Alive: Monopolizing Film Distribution in Turkey (2016)
7.1 /10
Turkish film industry has been experiencing a breakthrough in the last ten years. According to 2015 figures, there is a bold uptrend in terms of viewers and film production. Yet without any regulations at work, this growth only made injustices in distribution bigger. While a single cinema chain controls more then 50% of the market, it also started to control distribution and production. In this monopolized environment, there seems to be no country for independent production. With the guidance of producers, distributors, and economists, the film traces the distortion created by the bad economy that has become an obstacle for freedom of choice.

Communist Osman (2023)
0 /10
This documentary, which carries the spirit of humanism, is the story of those who did not submit to reaction and fascism, who struggled for democracy and human rights by seeking a way out of darkness into light. The main character of the documentary is Osman Özgüven, but it is not a biography, but a documentary of ideas. It tells what he and his comrades did in the name of fundamental rights and freedoms at the cost of paying a heavy price, how they popularised their populist policies, their concrete achievements, their adventures, how they overcame the obstacles they encountered and why they could not overcome some obstacles. These stories will shed light not only on a period but also on the future with their messages, and many of the practices they have realised are of a quality that can be a universal model. This is your story.
