Yesterday in the "Moscow" cinema took place the first night of film
"Soul Kitchen" taken by the originally Turkish director Fatih Akin who
considers himself German. The presentation was held in an over-crowded
hall. Many of them were watching the film sitting on the floor.
According to the director it was his only film which doesn't tell
of his fatherland, Turkey. This movie is about a restaurant owner
whose girlfriend is getting a work invitation and is leaving him. The
restaurant owner makes up his mind to sell the restaurant first and
follow his girlfriend, and then because of the circumstances does
everything to keep it.
Before the presentation of the film the journalists had the chance to
meet F. Akin. The director who was aware of the century long problems
between Armenia and Turkey is sure that the relations between of two
nations will be normalized when "the fear of looking into the eyes
of the truth will be overcome. The art can hold the hand of the man
and lead him through the dark rooms of the truth."
"In my fatherland many souls have been devoured driven by fear. I
don't know whether I speak as a father or as a man, but I hope that
we will overcome that fear and the problems will be solved, and I
hope I will also see that," the director explained.
The film "Soul Kitchen" is a winner of multiple prizes like special
prize of jury of Venice international film festival, "Youth film" prize
etc. You can watch it also on July 15 at 19:00, in "Nairi" cinema.
