Director: Umay Işık
Turkey, 2020, 24’
Kurdish with Turkish and English subtitles
In 1994-95, hundreds of Kurdish villages in Turkey were destroyed, forcing the villagers to leave. They were not able to return to their homeland for over 10 years. When they got back, they had to rebuild their houses and infrastructure. Then they began their lives sheep farming again, after getting used to a more comfortable lifestyle in cities. Therefore, they do not spend rough winters in the village anymore, instead returning to the city after the summer season. The film illustrates this half-nomadic life in between tradition and modernity. Director Umay Işık follows the life and work routine of his grandmother and family in the village of his origin.
As the New Year approaches, Pera Film presents an alternative watchlist of 10 movies, ranging from Hollywood's timeless classics to memorable examples of modern cinema.
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
