Erdem Tepegöz

Selin travels back in time at a summer house and finds herself in her mother's youth, changing her family's fate and rebuilding her own life.

From an intoxicating fantasy to a dangerous affair, a wealthy married woman finds her life irreversibly shattered after picking up an unpublished novel.

It is near future story in Anatolia. There is no indication of time and place, an post-apocalyptic world that ruled over by primitive technology. Zait, a loyal mine worker who works for a mine factory which is managed by unknowns, declares war against the factory.

The inhabitants of a snow-covered mountain town, who make no sound for fear of avalanches, are faced with an unexpected birth that winter.

How much space does Zeynep take up in this vast universe? This is a city brimming with the struggling and the unemployed; aren’t their lives a bit like the infinite, tiny particles flying through the air? Zeynep is already trying hard to make ends meet when she gets fired from her job at a textile mill. The Particle follows her as she searches for a job. We follow her in and out of workspaces. Zeynep’s world – the streets and homes in Tarlabaşı – are dark and suffocating.

"The world is a piece of land surrounded by stories, sorrow is vertical to the bliss, and love is parallel to the human. Billions of humans–us–are essentially the thousands of scenes of a film."

Coastliners puts the theme of “human rights” together with different stories, and consists of five short fiction films made by internationally acclaimed different directors. We accompany the personal effects of refugees washed ashore, the peculiar story of an assaulted young man, a mother and daughter who take refuge in a house when bombs sound on the Syrian border, a hero stuck in the hurly burly of Istanbul, trying to overcome obstacles; and the her spiritual journey of a pregnant woman trying to return to her village from where she was cast away.

Composer Erdem Helvacıoğlu recorded sounds at three different locations around İstanbul and turned them into compositions. This film documents a journey in pursuit of sounds.
