This month, the CAC Friday Cinema is organising a Turkish Film Festival for movie buffs in Kochi. Starting on Friday with the screening of Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s The Wild Pear Tree, the festival will present three more films on the following Fridays of June.'
The Wild Pear Tree is about Sinan, an aspiring writer, who returns home after university hoping to scrape together enough money to publish his first novel. The film tells how he finds his youthful ambition increasingly at odds and how his fantasies mingle with reality.
On June 14, Tony Gatlif’s critically-acclaimed movie Djam will be screened. It’s about a fearless and unpredictable girl sent to Istanbul on a mission to find a motor-boat part of her uncle, a former sailor and great fan of the Greek musical style rebetiko. On 21, Muslum, directed by Ketche and Can Ulkay, will be screened. The movie talks about the life of an eccentric, differently-abled musician.
