Ghostly

SHORT CREATIVE documentary

Ghostly is designed to be the artistic interpretation of an academic study for the Freie Universitat Berlin’s Visual and Media Anthropology department. The research explores the patterns in the emplacement of the new wave migration movement; namely, the recent highly-skilled migration from Turkey to Berlin. In the research, the structure of this trajectory in place-making stretches from displacement to emplacement; from the confrontations with the language barrier to the sense of solidarity in online and offline milieus. The audio-visual style of the film comes from from these waves and traces of reflections the ¨New Wavers¨ create as they are forced to experience a new sense of scattered space and belonging. Therefore, Ghostly does not follow a linear structure, but it rather flows as a collection of anonymous and abstracted memories, moments and stories.

Mimaroğlu

Feature documentary

At the beginning of the 1960s, İlhan and Güngör Mimaroğlu moved from İstanbul to New York to start a new life. With a keen interest in avant-garde music, İlhan Mimaroğlu went on to become a leading composer of the nascent field of electronic music with his work at Columbia University, while Güngör Mimaroğlu would show an exemplary political stance at the forefront of the peace protests that took the 1960s by storm. "Mimaroğlu" is the story of a unique pair of spirits that have complemented each other in many ways.

Ah

short film

The film portrays the loss of sense of belonging to the earth, the milieu where she is being. "Ah" does not tell a story, It brings up an abstract narration of a state of being, in other words it depicts a kind of visual narration of a young woman’s psychological state of mind that tell us about the trajectory of the vicious cycle of her inner world.
