CONFERENCE TO EXPLORE ARMENIAN, TURK FILMS

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).
