"Antakya... The ruined city is essentially more city. Perhaps the city is what remains after the buildings, streets, and memories that hold the city together are buried under ruins. Maybe a ’voice’ will gather all this ruin and bring it together. The Hatay Academy Symphony Orchestra has set out for this. One rail of this ’high-speed train’, which is heading towards disaster faster and faster, is the ’state of emergency’ and the other rail is ’debris’. To change today, we all need to pull the emergency brake, we need to stop this train. Artists from Hatay are in solidarityfor this journey. A year has passed and they have turned our pain into something bearable. Without them, this pain would be insupportable."

"Art and craft. Seeing value and making money. To be appreciated and rewarded. Making the children happy and making yourself unhappy. Arrogance and humility. An actress, who gets lost among all these concepts, Gozde. In Attention Please, we are caught between an actor and the frictions of the role she plays for herself."

ANAVASIA

"People seeking their livelihood during the fish spawning season. Small fish and small fishermen... Sometimes finding peace in the sea they love, sometimes chasing a morsel they desperately need. This is the story of the small fishermen in the sea. Does the big fish always eat the little fish?"
