As the mission of Bosphorus Art Project declares, we are devoted as an institution to promoting greater cultural interaction between the United States and Turkey, and dedicated to fostering mutual tolerance, understanding, and respect between our cultures by cultivating connections through diverse artistic expression. With all that is going on in the world, we hope you will agree that this mission is more important than ever. We are proud to present a varied selection of films, from the light-hearted spoof to the intense portrayal of contemporary social issues in this year’s festival. The stories we heard growing up, songs and compositions that bridge musical and cultural worlds, films that explore themes surrounding human experiences, dramas, and emotions, and artists that hold a mirror up to society all comment on this crazy, wonderful world we live in. It is through such expression that cultures can begin to understand each other, and perhaps, themselves. I would like to express our most heartfelt gratitude to Moon and Stars Project for the inspiration and guidance they have shown us since the inception of our organization. I would also like to thank Fred Linch of the Jewish Film Festival, and Chris Lamont of the Phoenix Film Festival for warmly embracing us into the valley’s film community. Their suggestions and partnership have made the overwhelming effort of organizing such an event more manageable and we look forward to a stronger partnership in the future. Most importantly, my thanks must go to the talented and tireless members of Bosphorus Art Project’s Executive Board who continue to work to bring Arizona audiences quality programs we can all enjoy. Bahar Engur, Chairperson -2- Duvara Karsi / Gegen die Wand / Head-On 2004, 121 minutes 35 mm, color German and Turkish with English subtitles Written and directed by Fatih Akin Cinematography by Rainer Klausmann Edited by Andrew Bird Music by Klaus Maeck Produced by Stefan Schubert, Ralph Schwingel Featuring Birol Ünel, Sibel Kekilli, Catrin Sitriebeck, Güven Kiraç, Meltem Cumbul, Cem Akin, Aysel Iscan, Demir Gökgöl, Mehmet Kurtulus Synopsis: Charged with sex, drugs, and palpable chemistry between stars Birol Ünel and Sibel Kekilli, Duvara Karsi (Head-On), received international critical acclaim for its gritty portrayal of the relationship between two troubled Turks living in Hamburg. Sibel and Cahit meet in the unlikely setting of a mental institution, where they both end up after unsuccessful attempts at suicide. After her failed episode, Sibel decides that marriage to a Turk is the only thing that can save her from the prison of her devout, conservative family. Reluctantly, Cahit agrees to Sibel's sudden proposal of marriage, perhaps not so much as to save her, as to do something meaningful in his own life. And while Sibel throws herself into Hamburg's nightlife and limitless sexual opportunities, Cahit slowly falls in love with her. A sudden explosion of jealousy results in a violent death, and the couple is forcibly separated. While both Sibel and Cahit are deeply wounded and fragile, the plot twists that ensue take them on new journeys, to new terrain, and toward disparate futures. All the while, director Fatih Akin explores the slippery slope of identity and cultural pride, while eliciting utterly spellbinding performances from his two leading actors. Cutting from shots of the two drinking raki and savoring Turkish fare like dolma to the two dancing and screaming "punk is not dead" in Cahit's wreck of an apartment, Akin captures the many dimensions of hyphenated nationalities, as well as the rage and euphoria of living dangerously.

Ever the businessman, he stages a series of fake UFO sightings (most of which involve a ceramic dish held up against the horizon), and taking full advantage of technology, “captures” them on film for local tabloids. Ironically, one day he is abducted by real UFOs and taken to the planet G.O.R.A. While Arif’s primary goal is to escape, he finds himself waging a war against Logar, the human-hating commander of the alien army who wants to take control of the planet and enslave the human race. With his strong desire for power, coldhearted Logar is making plans to marry Ceku, the beautiful daughter of G.O.R.A.’s president. Luckily, Arif is not the kind to easily accept captivity or defeat. With the help of his wannabe Bob Marley friend and an android named 216, Arif manages to save the planet from imminent disaster, and of course, gets the girl. Starring and written by Cem Yilmaz, and directed by Ömer Faruk Sorak (Vizontele), G.O.R.A. is much more than your typical comedy. While parodying blockbusters like Star Wars and The Matrix, the film smartly mixes in cultural references that give this comedy a very Turkish twist. The film is also the first of its kind in the Turkish film industry. Coming a long way from films like Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saves the World), the film was shot using HD technology and the post-production process was carried out in a digital atmosphere aiming to reflect the results of combining the real surroundings with two and three dimensional effects. In order to create the set, an imaginary planet was built inside the Antalya Film Studios, with construction carried out in seven different factory plants. Festivals and Awards 2005 Montreal Fantasia Film Festival This is a highly successful and entertaining film that doesn't compromise quality in trying to capture a large audience - don't miss it! -4- Kebab Connection 2004, 96 minutes 35 mm, color German with English subtitles Directed by Anno Saul Screenplay by Fatih Akin, Ruth Toma, Jan Berger, Anno Saul Cinematography by Hannes Hubach Edited by Tobias Haas Music by Marcel Barsotti Produced by Ralph Schwingel and Stefan Schubert Featuring Nora Tschirner, Denis Moschitto, Güven Kiraç, Hasan Ali Mete, Sibel Kekilli, Adnan Maral Synopsis: Young Turkish immigrant Ibo idolizes Bruce Lee and wants to be the director of the first German kung-fu film. Since his ambition is rivaled only by his lack of experience, he has to begin on a small scale. He sets out to make a commercial spot for his uncle’s kebab joint, all the while trying to prove his skill at making martial arts films. The commercial turns out to be a raging success, and everything on Ibo’s horizon looks bright – until his German girlfriend tells him she is pregnant. The thought of Ibo having a child with a gavur (unbeliever) infuriates his father, and Ibo finds himself out on the street having managed to anger both his family and his girlfriend. His uncle promises to help him patch things up in return for another commercial. But when Ibo’s second spot results in a fiasco, he becomes desperate and agrees to make a commercial for a Greek restaurant run by his uncle’s worst enemy. Once the mafia gets involved, Ibo can finally put his kung-fu talents to the test. An inspired example of the ethnic comedy genre, Kebab Connection takes a satirical turn, moving away from the often heavy-handed, moralistic treatment of the German-Turkish problem. Festivals

  • Identity, Cultural Representation and Feminism in the Movie Head-On
    Identity, Cultural Representation and Feminism in the Movie Head-On Sandra BERCHTEL University of Innsbruck, [email protected] Special Issue: 1 (2011) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2011.9 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract The movie Head On (2004) from the director Fatih Akin draws the attention of the audience to Turkish women living in Germany. It portrays how some women have to struggle with Turkish traditions and identity problems, living in a modern capitalistic country but being surrounded by Turkish culture. This analysis asks the question whether the movie challenges or supports feminist ideas. Therefore, the characterization, the language, the use of violence, and sexuality will be evaluated to find answers. Feminist principles and goals will help to classify my findings and examine displayed power structures, mixed messages, portrayed stereotypes, and the construction of gender.

Identity, Cultural Representation and Feminism in the Movie Head-On I. Introduction “Are you Turkish? Do you want to marry me?”1 These questions asked by Sibel (Sibel Kekilli), the main character of the movie Head-on (2004), are the beginning of a conversation between her and Cahit Tomruk (Birol Ünel). It seems completely absurd and hard to understand without any background information and cultural knowledge, why a young and pretty girl would ask the first “bum”2 crossing her way to marry her.

    New German Identity: Reworking the Past and Defining the Present in Contemporary German Cinema Constance McCarney Dr. Robert Gregg Spring 2008 General University Honors McCarney 2 The end of imperialism was the birth of nationalism, a wave of rising consciousness that swept over the conquered areas of the world and brought them to their feet with a defiant cry, “We are a Nation!” These new nations, almost all multiethnic states, struggled in defining themselves, found themselves locked in civil wars over what the citizen of this nation looked like and who s/he was. The old nations, locked in a Cold War, looked on, confident in their own national cohesion and unity. But the end of the Cold War proved to be the birth of complicated new identity concerns for Europe. Yugoslavia splintered in terrible ethnic conflict. France rioted over the expression of religious affiliation. Germany tried desperately to salvage the hope that brought down the Wall and stitch itself back together. For Germany the main questions of identity linger, not only who is a German, but what does it mean to be German? In the aftermath of the great upheavals in Germany’s recent past, the Second World War and the fall of the Third Reich, German films did their best to ignore these questions of identity and the complications of the past. But in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, a New German Cinema arose that sought to work through the complex issues of West Germany: the legacy of the Nazi Past, American occupation, the Berlin Wall and divided Germany, the radicalism of the time period in a global context, and the civil rights movements, particularly the women’s movement.
