Slovakia (Czechoslovakia), 1970, 90’, color
Slovak with Turkish subtitles 

An adventure romance of three men and one woman set in the splendid scenery of the High Tatra. Three friends work at a mountain chalet during the summer season. Their simple highlander life is disrupted by the arrival of a young student. The previously clear-cut relations between the friends get tangled up and head for a tragic ending. Shooting of the picture was an adventure by itself; it took more than a year as it was constantly complicated by unsettled mountain weather. Upon its premiere the film was seen by many and even today it ranks among the most popular Slovak motion pictures.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.

Three people sleeping side by side. On the uncomfortable seats of the stuffy airplane in the air. Three friends. I’m the friend in the window seat. The other two are a couple, Emre and Melisa. I’m alone, they are together. And another difference. I’ve only closed my eyes. They are asleep.
