  • 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.

Bu süreç, stilleri eski Yeşilçamı temsil eden yönetmenlerden bütünüyle farklı genç kuşak yönetmenlerin kendi filmlerini üretmeleri ve Holywood filmlerinin sinemayı popüler düzeye taşımaları, film yapımcılarını sinemaya yatırım yapma ve yerel ürünleri dağıtma konusunda cesaretlendirmeleri olgularıyla ortaya çıkmıştır. Reklam endüstrisindeki gelişmeler hem insan j malzemesi hem de maddi/teknik donanım sunma konusunda Türk sinemasının yapısal organizasyonunu desteklemesi olgusu da bu çerçevede zikredilmelidir. Buna ilave olarak, Türkiye'nin her yerindeki iletişim ve güzel sanatlar fakültelerinin sayısındaki artış da, I endüstride kullanılabilecek kapasitede ve eğitimde insan gücünü üretmektedir. Bu gelişme sadece endüstrinin yapısında değil, aynı zamanda Türk Sineması'nın üslup ve söyleminde de ortaya çıkmıştır. İçsel gerilimi açıkca yerıi-gerçekci, 'kara film', deneysel ve geleneksel hikaye anlatma biçiminden ırak bir sinema dili ortaya çıkmıştır.

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. His involvement in the democracy movement in the 90s and his background as a documentarian have determined the style and the content of his subsequent film work. His first feature film My Marlon and Brando was selected for the Rotterdam Film Festival and had its North American premiere at Tribeca, where it won Hüseyin Karabey the Best Director award.

  • 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).

This course, taught entirely in Turkish, will introduce different approaches to studying cinema, while also providing students with the opportunity to achieve advanced-level language skills. This is a screening-intensive course, and we will watch a wide range of films, including popular, arthouse, auteur-made, generic, and independent works. In each unit, we will read film history and criticism in both Turkish and English and closely examine primary sources in their original language. Our goal will be to determine what constitutes Turkish cinema as a national cinema and identify the ways in which its constitutive elements are part of transnational movements. To this end, we will discuss the socio-political contexts, industrial trends, aesthetic sensitivities, and representation strategies of selected films. By constantly reformulating the essential question of “what Turkish cinema is,” we seek to understand how Turkey’s filmmakers, critics, cultural policy-makers, and viewers have answered this question in different historical periods. Prerequisite: TUR 320K/TUR381K with a letter grade of C or higher (or via placement via successful performance on the DMES Turkish placement exam) Language/Content Learning Objectives: By the end of TUR 329 you will, inşallah: • initiate, sustain, and close a general conversation with a number of strategies appropriate to a range of circumstances and topics, despite errors.

Wearing a moustache like a young Errol Flynn, his mimic and gestures are desperate and helpless. Next, the boy on a motorcycle followed by images of the city at night. Against the light, in a mystic atmospheric forest, a girl runs, followed by the boy in the distance while a poetic voice in Turkish says: “If I say to the hole ‘you are my father’, if I say to the wolf ‘you are my mother, my brother’, you see, then where is hope?” These are the first few seconds of the trailer to Reha Erdem’s latest film “Big Big World” (Koca Dünya) from 2016.

  • New Turkish Cinema” Arif Can Güngör, [email protected]
    From Past to Present: A Cognitive Work On “New Turkish Cinema” Arif Can Güngör, [email protected] Volume 4.1 (2014) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2014.121 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract In recent years, “new” concept has become very consumable especially within the context of politics in our country. Generally, after certain periods in Turkey, “new”, representative of political changes and emphasizing reconstruction process, has been a concept that frequently used in parallel with political, social, economic and cultural use, from past to present. Turkish cinema has had many periods from its constructive years to present; some of which have been in difficulties and crises. Having been overcome after every crisis, Turkish Cinema has always recovered itself. After this recovery, process to be rising or expected to be shown up, has wanted to be emphasized by the characterization of the “new” concept, needed to be created or created different structure. The search of the young directors for an alternative cinema language, experiencing types, using various production and filming styles have revealed a richness in development of our cinema. In this essay, New Cinema concept will be introduced in terms of its usage and meanings attributed to it in Turkish cinema. Moreover, its place and importance in Turkish cinema history will be discussed. Keywords: New Turkish Cinema, Yeşilçam, New Cinema.
