The Source Family covers
the radical life style of 70's and the reactions it received from the general
public. The subject of the documentary, the Source Family, at first becames the
center of attention, only to be followed by discrimination, even intervention by
the authorities and a self-induced exile to Hawaii due to their norm-breaking
life styles...
Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
The exhibition Look at Me!
