There’s a film festival in the city that will show films from Turkey. I wanted to document it here since it’s the first one. I don’t know if the website and online links will be available in the future. The films will be shown in Babylon, a cinema I was curious about but haven’t visited yet. They were showing silent films with an orchestra, that’s how I heard them first and walked around it a lot. But these cinemas have this power that makes them not easy to enter for the first time if there’s no special occasion. I love them, but I’m also scared of them.
I’ve seen Love, Deutschmarks and Death in Berlinale, it was a bumpy ride. I enjoyed Cem Kaya’s both films. Also saw Brother’s Keeper, Auf Einmal, The Announcement, and Something Useful in the past. I plan to watch Amina, Klondike and Ümit Ünal’s new film Love, Spells and All That.
