  • ANKARA: Conference To Explore Armenian, Turk Films

    CONFERENCE TO EXPLORE ARMENIAN, TURK FILMS

    Hurriyet Daily News
    May 16 2012
    Turkey

    Salt Galata will be hosting Sweet Confusion, a comparative project
    that explores Armenian and Turkish cinematography of the '60s
    in collaboration with AICA Armenia, Anadolu Kultur, International
    Armenian Cinema Center, Armenia Turkey Cinema Platform and tranzit.at.

    The conference attempts to reread the socio-political and cultural
    paradigms of two geopolitically estranged contexts, which, throughout
    the 1960s, were in the process of self-definition and positioned
    themselves by determining and shaping the "other" through the complex
    correlation of cultural and political systems.

    Sweet Confusion, which is supported by the Eurasia Partnership
    Foundation, USAID, Erste Stiftung and Allianz Kulturstiftung, was
    conceived in the framework of the international research project
    "Sweet 60s." The project explores, through contemporary artistic and
    theoretical perspectives, the unknown, underestimated and hidden
    contexts and territories of the 1960s that were omitted from the
    meta-narrative of the "romantic revolutionary epoch."

    Some of the films will be screened again at Depo on May 20th.

    Simultaneous translation will be available.

    Hrach Bayadyan, Keti Chukhrov, Zeynep Dadak, Siranush Dvoyan, Dimitris
    Eleftheriotis, Vigen Galtsyan, Ahmet Gurata, Nazareth Karoyan, Nadire
    Mater and Fatih Ozguven will be presenting during Sweet Confusion. The
    films that will be screened as part of the program include Barev,
    es em (Hello, it's me!), Erankyun (Triangle), Menq enq, mer sarery
    (We and our mountains), Hayrik (Daddy), Vesikalı Yarim (My Prostitute
    Love) and Bir Gecelik Gelin (One Night Bride).
