Director: Doğa Kılcıoğlu
2010, 52', color, Turkish
The film shows us the unknown face of TV world through a very popular show in Turkey called Marriage with Esra Erol aiming to marry people in front of the camera. It focuses on the people looking for a glimpse of hope in the hallways of a huge TV studio: a popular presenter who feels at ease on stage but prays for good luck in the backstage; a director whispering in her earphone to guide her in order to make the show more exciting; a peculiar spectator whose job is to criticize; audience clapping when ordered; and a young man dancing to hip hop music without ever being in a disco all his life.
Trailer
Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.
He didn’t expect this from me. And I hadn’t expected that we would decide to get married that day, at that moment. Everything happened all of a sudden, but exactly like it was supposed to happen in our day. We thought of the idea of marriage simultaneously, we smiled simultaneously, blinking and opening our eyes in unison.
