Rhodes Board of advisors: Lizelle Bisschoff (University of Glasgow) Stephanie Hemelryck Donald (University of Lincoln) Anna Misiak (Falmouth University) Des O’Rawe (Queen’s University Belfast) ReFocus is a series of contemporary methodological and theoretical approaches to the interdisciplinary analyses and interpretations of international film directors, from the celebrated to the ignored, in direct relationship to their respective culture—its myths, values, and historical precepts—and the broader parameters of international film history and theory. The series provides a forum for introducing a broad spectrum of directors, working in and establishing movements, trends, cycles, and genres including those historical, currently popular, or emergent, and in need of critical assessment or reassessment. It ignores no director who created a historical space—either in or outside of the studio system—beginning with the origins of cinema and up to the present. ReFocus brings these film directors to a new audience of scholars and general readers of Film Studies. Titles in the series include: ReFocus: The Films of Susanne Bier Edited by Missy Molloy, Mimi Nielsen, and Meryl Shriver-Rice ReFocus: The Films of Francis Veber Keith Corson ReFocus: The Films of Jia Zhangke Maureen Turim and Ying Xiao ReFocus: The Films of Xavier Dolan

  • Climates a Film by Nuri Bilge Ceylan
    WINNER FIPRESCI PRIZE IN COMPETITION 2006 Cannes Film Festival climates a film by Nuri Bilge Ceylan A Zeitgeist Films Release climates a film by Nuri Bilge Ceylan Winner of the prestigious Fipresci Award at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, CLIMATES is internationally acclaimed writer-director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s sublime follow-up to his Cannes multi-award winner DISTANT. Beautifully drawn and meticulously observed, the film vividly recalls the cinema of Italian master Michelangelo Antonioni with its poetic use of landscape and the incisive, exquisitely visual rendering of loneliness, loss and the often-elusive nature of happiness. During a sweltering summer vacation on the Aegean coast, the relationship between middle-aged professor Isa (played by Ceylan himself ) and his younger, television producer girlfriend Bahar (the luminous Ebru Ceylan, Ceylan’s real-life wife) brutally implodes. Back in Istanbul that fall, Isa rekindles a torrid affair with a previous lover. But when he learns that Bahar has left the city for a job in the snowy East, he follows her there to win her back. Boasting subtly powerful performances, heart-stoppingly stunning cinematography (Ceylan’s first work in high definition) and densely textured sound design, CLIMATES is the Turkish filmmaker’s most gorgeous rumination yet on the fragility and complexity of human relationships. BIOGRAPHIES Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Isa / Director-Screenwriter) Since winning the Grand Prize at Cannes in 2003 for DISTANT (Uzak), Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the ‘Lone Wolf ’ of Turkish cinema, has been critically acclaimed for his spare and unaffected style of filmmaking, inviting comparisons to Tarkovsky, Bresson and Kiarostami. Humorous and masterful, his is a cinema that spans the modern experi- ence: examining rural life, relationships, masculinity, and urban alienation.

These directors are significant in the history of cinema because of the themes they developed in their movies as well as the novelties they brought to the form. Angelopulos, Eisenstein, Bergman, Bunuel, Ceylan, Fassbinder, Ford, Godard, Kurosawa, Loach, Ray and Visconti: all of them produced masterpieces of the film history and their production may be defined as turning points in the evolution of cinema as an artistic realm. We think that their works can be analyzed and identified from many perspectives as they are most relevant to define the main purposes of film as art. Native place-making and universal, developed and underdeveloped, East and West, conventional and avant-garde, national and international, all of these dualities profoundly elaborated in human and social sciences will also be important for us to think about and discuss leading work of arts of these authors.

  • New Turkish Cinema – Some Remarks on the Homesickness of the Turkish Soul
    New Turkish Cinema – Some Remarks on the Homesickness of the Turkish Soul Agnieszka Ayşen KAIM, University of Lodz, [email protected] Abstract Contemporary cinematography reflects the dualism in modern Turkish society. The heart of every inhabitant of Anatolia is dominated by homesickness for his little homeland. This overpowering feeling affects common people migrating in search of work as well as intellectuals for whom Istanbul is a place for their artistic development but not the place of origin. The city and “the rest” have been considered in opposition to each other. The struggle between “the provincial” and “the urban” has even created its own film genre in Turkish cinematography described as “homeland movies”. They paint the portrait of a Turkish middle class intellectual on the horns of a dilemma, the search for a modern identity and a place to belong in a modern world where values are constantly shifting.

New Turkish Cinema – Some Remarks on the Homesickness of the Turkish Soul For decades „It„s like a Turkish film” has been an expression with negative associations, being synonymous with kitch and banal. Over the last 10 years, Turkish cinematography has become recognised as the “New cinema of Turkey” thanks to appearances in festivals in Rotterdam, Linz, New York and Wrocław, Poland (“Era New Horizons”, 2010).

  • Istanbul 2013
    Istanbul 2013 By Gönül Dönmez-Colin Fall 2013 Issue of KINEMA ISTANBUL 2013 With independent theatres on the festival circuit closing one after the other, the last one being the historical Emek sacrificed to a shopping mall, securing sufficient exhibition space has become increasingly challenging for Turkey’s most prestigious film festival (30 March-14 April, 2013). Notwithstanding the comfort thenew theatres in shopping malls in rich neighbourhoods may offer, the cinephiles are weaned on watching films in an atmosphere of culture and history in the Beyoğlu district, the old Pera, where Turkish cinema’s seeds were sown almost 100 years ago. The good news is that Turkish cinema is alive and well, with an immense interest on the part of the young, especially women, to join the profession, the autobiographical Köksüz (Nobody’s Home) by Deniz Akçay Katıksız, which later would have successful screenings in Venice; Saroyan Ülkesi Saroyanland on the American-Armenian writer William Saroyan and his Anatolian roots by Lusin Dink, the daughter of the assassinated Armenian journalist Hrant Dink and Hayatboyu (Lifelong), on the disintegration of a relationship, the second film of Aslı Özge. Three remarkable male film-makers brought unusual renditions of extraordinary characters trapped in ordinary circumstances: Sen Aydınlatırsın Geceyi (Thou Gild’st the Even) by Onur Ünlü, Soğuk (Cold) by Uğur Yücel and Yozgat Blues from the director of Uzak İhtimal (The Wrong Rosary), Mahmut Fazıl Coşkun. On the more commercial side, from actor-director Yılmaz Erdoğan, remembered for his exceptional role as the police chief in Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s masterpiece, Bir zamanlar Anadolu’da (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, 2011), came a period-piece romance Kelebeğin Rüyası (The Butterfly’s Dream), which, incidentally, is Turkey’s entry to the Oscars in the Foreign Language Film category.
