In a snowy Kurdish mountain village in eastern Turkey, Berfé, an old woman, and Jiyan, her young granddaughter, are troubled when the only man of the household, Temo, the son of one and father of the other, is arrested and taken into custody by the local gendarmerie. The commanding officer has received word that the villagers are hiding guns. It is announced that all the men of the village will be kept in custody until their families submit and hand over the guns they are hiding. But the problem is there are no guns, at least to the knowledge of these two blameless women. Despairing and on their own, Berfé and Jiyan are faced with a long journey in search of a gun that they can exchange for their beloved Temo. But how can their innocence and naivety find a way out in a system that threatens, eventually, to drag them into the sullied world of an interminable conflict?

Hüseyin Karabey (1970) has been making films since 1996. He graduated from the Film and Television Department of Marmara University in 2001.

In Antioch, courtyards are separated from the streets by high walls and their doors are always closed. In Antioch, every courtyard is a world in and of its own. Among its inhabitants are Turks, Arabs, Christians, Jews, Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, Alawites, Sunni Muslims... And a different language is spoken in every courtyard. Eleni is a beautiful yet rather unkempt 27 year-old woman of Greek origin. She has three daughters aged nine, seven and five. Since her husband’s death she has been alienated by her neighbours. Men have stopped speaking to her to avoid gossip, while women do the same to keep her away from their husbands. Imprisoned in her courtyard with her daughters, Eleni contrives excuses to go to her neighbours every evening for some conversation…

A painter with a turbulent history, fiercely committed to his ideals and still averse to settling down despite his 70 years; a lawyer who packed in his job after suffering a heart attack and now pursues a quiet life looking after his pet snail; a doctor already disenchanted with his profession and now discarded by his wife; a career woman braving life on her own, who has made loneliness a lifestyle.

Bornova Bornova is set at a time when dreams have dwindled and sanity is hard to hold on to. Even the prospect of a regular, routine life now holds great promise. Salih and Hakan, who spend their entire time outside the local grocery store hoping to get lucky one day, are like brothers. Hakan, the younger of the two, is just back from national service. The football career he longed for was over before it even began because of injury, leaving him with neither skills nor a job. His hope is to become a taxi driver. Salih, the local psychopath, is the only person who listens to Hakan, the only person to give him advice. Although he comes from a good family, and a well-educated one at that, Salih is mixed up in all manner of unlawful activity in the neighbourhood. Everyone is scared of him. Even the high-school girl Özlem. That’s the girl Hakan is crazy about, except he has never dared speak to her.

“Although the novel seems to be a story based on human themes of ugliness, beauty, envy and passion, I thought about making a film based on Envy, because its story mainly addressed the subject of fate. The story centres on Seniha, whose fate has been determined by her ugliness, and her transformation from passive victim of this fate, to arbitrator of the fate of beauty, which she so abhors. It is, then, an uncommon story about the human soul. I felt that a story which deconstructs beauty, questioning it from the standpoint of ugliness would contribute towards understanding and talking about a painful human condition.” Zeki Demirkubuz

In Five Cities, the lives of the five characters are closely bound up with death. A policeman who is painfully in love; a young university student who works as a part-time shop assistant to pay her way; a teacher tormented by guilt because of the crime he committed; a man treated badly by life who sells toy trains and has a thing for poetry; and an 11-year-old boy desperate to be in the school dance team so he can hold the hand of the girl he loves... Throughout the film, the lives of these characters change constantly with the irony of fate. Three of them have cancer and know that they are going to die; the other two are murderers and know what it is to kill. So each of them has a more intimate acquaintance with death than us regular human beings.

Thirty-something Egemen works as an office boy for an advertising agency and, despite his age, still has to live with his mother Gülseren. For Egemen, life has meant dealing with his mother’s mental black-outs. For Gülseren, on the other hand, the only thing that makes life worth living is Egemen. The rest is endless angst and a restless spirit endured within the four walls of her house where she has imprisoned herself. The only person she wants to be with is Egemen. Even the very thought of something that might separate her from him is enough to drive her mad. In Darkness is the sometimes frightening, sometimes suspenseful, and occasionally humorous story of a mother whose life has been shaped by the moral judgment of the middle-class and the young man forced to live in his mother’s hell.

My mother is dead. Almost no one was at her funeral. Why would people come to her funeral? After all, my mother wasn’t important to anyone except me. She was a frail, silent woman. Like a ghost… Actually she was already dead when she was alive and we just had to lower her into the ground. Now it seems that my last connection with life has gone forever. But who cares? I have nothing to lose. I feel crushed between these walls. That’s why I like aquariums. Actually aquariums have glass walls, too. But if it were a very large aquarium full of beautiful accessories like sunken galleys, rocks with holes resembling small caves, shady weed, it would epitomize a small but very beautiful world. You would know that it was fake, but you would accept that. But this world is totally different, the walls here are real.

A space story from Erzincan... 1957... A remote village in the Erzincan area of eastern Turkey… Four impassioned villagers make plans to travel to the moon, convinced that their mission will succeed. Their adventure is told in the picture-book style of the period through black & white photographs. And the clipped tones of the local narrator leave all emotion to the audience. As events unfold, they are given explanation by prominent Turkish intellectuals with scientific experience in different fields. And as the various aspects of these events are examined, the audience is drawn into ‘outlandish’ territory. Watching the film gives the sense less of a historical documentary than of an in-depth study of contemporary Turkish culture.

Kutluğ Ataman (Istanbul, 1961) studied film at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1994, he directed his first feature film, Serpent’s Tale, which brought him international recognition as well as a number of awards. He won the Carnegie Prize in Pittsburgh in 2004.

Kosmos is a thief who works miracles. He arrives from the wilds in a timeless border town as though a fugitive, weeping. No sooner is he there, he rescues a small boy from drowning in the river, and is recognised as a man of miracles. Kosmos proves to be a rather extraordinary person. He never seems to eat or sleep. His single form of nourishment is sugar, which he consumes by the fistful. One of his more striking skills is the ability to scale the tallest trees with uncommon agility. He also declares his wish in life with disarming honesty, which startles the townspeople: he is looking for love. Soon Kosmos and Neptün, the teenaged sister of the rescued boy, grow closer in the weirdest of ways: by imitating the screech of birds in trees and on rooftops.

A young woman from the very liberal Aegean city of Smyrna is posted to a cold and religious northern town, Of, for her first job as a judge. She goes with her mother, both full of preconceptions about the ill-famed town, which is supposedly home to terrifying mafias and Islamists. However, what they find are warm and joyous people dancing with the merest sound of music on their beautiful mountains. The only difficulty is the odd mentality of the Black Sea people. A social satire on regional contradictions, cultural prejudices, Islam and modernity, and the place of women in a land which gave birth to the Amazons.

Nur Dolay studied sociology and political sciences in the USA and at Sorbonne University, Paris. She worked as a journalist for the French media (Le Monde Diplomatique, Courrier International, Thalassa on France 3 TV, Radio France International) and Turkish press for 28 years. She has travelled all over the world and written books on Latin America and the Caucasus, as well as making a dozen documentary films on geopolitical issues and marine subjects. Smyrn-Of is her directorial debut.

A film director from the generation of ’68 decides to intervene in life through his own field. His real concern is to create a whole new production model, a new language, a new understanding of aesthetics, and most important, a new production ethic. So he mortgages his country house. When the director publishes a rapturous manifesto, the house starts to fill up. He tells chosen candidates: “During the selection process, we have looked to see if you have the courage to go after your heart. We are here to enrich life with stories worth telling. You should have a story of your own. If you don’t, then you’ll become the subject of other people’s stories.” Throughout the film, this location will be used as a show arena, a giant stage. Everything that happens on this stage will be shot in a musical harmony and with a documentary flavour.

Yavuz Özkan made several short films and wrote screenplays during the 1970s. In 1978, he directed his first feature, The Mine. In the 1980s and 1990s, he directed several films which won multiple awards both locally and internationally.

An entire village in northern Iraq is wiped out when misinformed and panicked American soldiers stage a night-time raid. Cennet, a young Turkmen girl who has never before left home and is the only survivor of the raid, has no choice but to set out for Kirkuk in search of her older brother, a barber named Azim. When she reaches Kirkuk she learns that Azim has been badly hurt in a bomb blast and taken to Turkey for treatment. Desperate to track him down, Cennet sets off on an arduous journey, her sense of resolve strengthened by blind fury and the fact that she has nothing to lose.

Omnibus of five short films that were shot in the Turkish province of Kars, on the border with Armenia. Among the five directors are three debutants who were chosen to film their stories after winning a scenario contest. The final result is a sympathetic collection of films that remain small and simple: the puppy love between a boy and a girl on their winter trip to school, the memories of a young woman about her mother’s response to her first menstruation and bra, and the story of a student who returns to his village, but all too soon flees again for the past that is waiting for him there. The stories take place strikingly often around the cemetery and look at things from the past being revealed. The last contribution to the omnibus film is also significantly called ‘a small truth’.

Except that one day this is suddenly thrown upside down when she hears a supernatural voice... To begin with, the Voice is no more than an inarticulate murmur; but as time goes on, so it starts speaking to Derya in words she can understand. Convinced that she is hallucinating, the young woman does her best to disregard the Voice; however, after a while she has no choice but to listen. The Voice tells the chilling story of a young woman who confronts her own inner voice and learns to accept herself as she is.

Love stories have always told of women. The sufferers, the worriers, the unfairly treated have always been women, leaving men cast as characters afraid of commitment, cynical about love and savvy at breaking hearts. But is this really so? Are men as insensitive and cruel as they are portrayed in films? Adını Sen Koy looks into this neglected aspect of love: the world of men. It considers the reflection of love in that world, and how it affects life and friendships. Can is deeply in love with Aybige, and plans to marry her. But when he introduces the love of his life to his childhood friend Ilgaz, something strange happens: Ilgaz is surprisingly cool towards Aybige. His best friend’s attitude raises Can’s suspicions about his fiancée and makes Aybige uneasy.

Ender and Çetin, two men in their late thirties, have been close friends since high school. After being away for many years, Çetin returns to Ankara, moves in with Ender, and as such, the two realize their childhood dream. While on holiday in Turkey, Fikret, their close friend who lives abroad, has a car accident in which his parents are killed. Since he has to return overseas, Fikret asks whether his sister, Nihal, can stay with them until she graduates from university. At first, Ender and Çetin are annoyed by the presence of a third party just when they have achieved their dream of living together. After a while, however, sharing the same house draws the three together, and they soon enjoy spending time with each other. Eventually, the inevitable happens: Ender and Çetin fall in love with Nihal; each unaware of the other’s feelings.

What would a man risk to avoid getting blood on his hands if he found himself and his family unwittingly surrounded by violence? What are the ways to protect innocence and remain human in a world dominated by violence? Set in the Cyprus of 1963, this story is inspired by a real-life incident that took place during the ethnic clashes between Turks and Greeks, and presents its own myths and belief in peace within an impressive visual and dramatic structure.

Sitting dutifully by the sage was a pair of fine Anatolian sheepdogs. He pointed to the animals and told the shepherd, “The male there is Karabaş, the female Kutlu. They’re fellows in all things. Take them; they’re yours. Once committed, they’re committed for life. Just never let the dogs see blood.” There were three bellwethers in the flock, three lead sheep: Kınalı, Badem and Çiçek. One night, the wolves descended... The blood glistened in the light of the half moon; the leg of a sheep lay discarded on the ground, while clusters of wool danced around in the chill night air. Karabaş seemed to change after that night. He attacked the bits of flesh. And he made Kutlu a partner in crime.

Atalay Taşdiken (1964) graduated from Konya Selçuk University with a degree in physics. In 1991, he began working in advertising, learning a broad range of skills by turns as a dark room technician, media representative, copywriter and creative director.

Ships explores urban youth culture in Istanbul through the eyes of Ali, a 22-year-old free spirit. Ali has a recurring dream about trying to get on a ship named ‘Distant’. Not sharing his parents’ middle class values, he wants to leave his hometown in pursuit of a better life. When he meets Eda, a tomboyish and striking beauty, who draws ship murals throughout the city, he is convinced that he must find ‘Distant’ and Eda is meant to join him on his quest. Eda finds it hard to connect with Ali at first, but is soon drawn to his uniqueness and lack of pretence. Wanting to see what is out there in the world, Eda and Ali bond in a seemingly childish way and as they embark on an adventure to find ‘Distant’, their lives are slowly thrown into chaos.

Somewhere in Between is a film project which explores how growing up and living in today’s world are tantamount to being in ‘total limbo’. The narrative focuses on the desires, dreams, cravings, viewpoints, expectations and loves of two adolescents stuck in the threshold of purgatory and chained to their anguish. It is the story of enduring a plastic world suppressed, de-valued and debased by artificial, illusory expectations - a process that also deepens immutable social inequalities.

After making several award-winning shorts in Turkey, Yeşim Ustaoğlu won international recognition for her 1999 film, Journey to the Sun, which received the Blue Angel Award and the Peace Prize in Berlin, among other prizes. Her third film, Waiting for the Clouds, was awarded NHK Sundance International Filmmaker’s award. Ustaoğlu’s fourth film, Pandora’s Box, which tells the story of an old woman with Alzheimer’s disease, won the Best Film and Best Actress awards at San Sebastian. After screening at numerous international festivals and winning many awards, the film obtained theatrical release in several countries around the world.

Zeynel and his wife Gülizar, who live in Diyarbakır, move into a larger apartment as they’re expecting a baby. With the prospect of becoming a father, Zeynel’s memories about his own father Mustafa, who died when he was just a child, re-emerge and he starts listening to the sound recordings that his father used to send them. Zeynel’s mother Base, who lives in Elbistan, gave him only one of these recordings. She didn’t part with the others because she was worried they might get damaged or lost. When his mother, who normally spends the winters with Zeynel and his family in Diyarbakır, makes up various excuses and doesn’t visit them for a long time, Zeynel gets worried and goes to Elbistan to check up on her.

The story opens with a lavish wedding ceremony in rural Anatolia. A middle-aged groom with a large moustache and his bride, covered in a red bridal veil; guests dancing around them and guns fired into the air: an extravagant wedding ceremony is being held with two bands of drums and horns. At the end of the celebrations, which last until midnight, the bride is led ceremoniously to the bridal chamber. The bride and her sister-in-law are then left alone in the room, and the sister-in-law gives the bride a final briefing on nuptial customs. From now on, the camera remains inside the bridal chamber. With her face draped in a red veil, the bride sits waiting for the groom, reacting oddly to the noises she hears outside.

Reis Çelik (Ardahan, 1961) studied music and drama at the Istanbul State Conservatoire. In 1982, he began working as an economics and political correspondent for various national newspapers. After a succession of documentary films, he made his first feature Let There be Light in 1996.

Where the Fire Burns is a road story. Ayse suddenly falls sick and is hospitalized for an urgent operation. Her family is hugely supportive at first, but during the operation the girl is found to be 14 weeks pregnant. Once recovered from the successful surgery, Ayse refuses to reveal who the father of her baby is. And the family who rallied to save her life now tries to kill her. Her father Osman, who takes on the task of killing her, sets off on a trip with Ayse. While Osman is plotting to poison his daughter, Ayse is blindly unaware of his intent. This trip by father and daughter is a time of getting to know each other, a process tinged with regrets.

İsmail Güneş (Samsun, 1961) began his filmmaking career in 1977 as an assistant to Natuk Baytan. He made his first short film the same year and went on to direct his first feature Before the Sun Rises in 1986.

The central idea behind Zephyr is based on a child’s umbilical attachment to her mother: how she longs to be one with her, as when she was inside her, evading the pains and sorrows of growing up. My primary sources of inspiration for this film are my great-grandmother’s country house in the foothills of the Eastern Black Sea Mountains, as well as real-life situations and individuals from my family history. However, the film has a fictional storyline and ending. In my debut short Boreas - a prelude to Zephyr, which was nominated for the Palm d’Or in Cannes 2006 - I set out to depict a child’s first encounter with death, encapsulated in those splendid visions of early childhood. My first feature Zephyr expands on similar themes of loss, fear of abandonment, loneliness and death, and aims all along to portray the human condition versus nature’s condition... Belma Baş

Belma Baş (Ordu, 1969) earned her BA in English Literature from Istanbul University in 1992.

Filmmor Women’s Film Festival is held every year in Istanbul and goes on to tour different cities at the invitation and with the support of other women’s organizations. Festival screenings are categorized into sections carrying themes like ‘violence against women’, ‘honour’ and ‘body’. The programme also focuses on the place of women’s cinema and includes collective presentations, Q&A sessions, panel discussions and workshops. Intentionally, there is no competition section, a decision based on the argument that women don’t need to compete with each other, whereas they do need to stick together. The festival provides the opportunity for women to be together with their dreams, ideas, productions, to watch women’s experiences as told by women and to watch examples of cinema that rarely reach commercial theatres.
