Türkiye, Portugal, Italy, 2024, 21’, DCP, color

This subjective documentary tells the journey towards the home of Marie from Adana, an Armenian forcibly converted to Islam. It's a story of searching for roots and not finding them. From Adana's old Armenian memory sites to the diplomatic archives of Nantes (France) and to the disruptive searches of treasure hunters, Sweet Home Adana brings together the fragments related to different aspects of denial and forgetting.

The crew will attend.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
