Starting this
past Friday and running through May 10, the Film Society of Lincoln Center is presenting an ambitious survey of
contemporary and classic cinema from Turkey. The Space Between: A Panorama of
Cinema in Turkey is the largest retrospective of films from Turkey to
be presented in the United States. The retrospective is produced by The Moon and Stars Project of The American Turkish Society and the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Opening
the festivities last week was the New York premiere of CAN (2011) directed by Raşit Çelikezer. The film was
Turkey’s first ever entry at the Sundance
Film Festival, receiving the Special
Jury Prize for Artistic Vision. This modern day love story, based in
Istanbul, relates a heart wrenching tale of a young couple faced with
infertility, who plot to illegally buy a child. The Closing Night film will be Özcan
Alper’s THE FUTURE LASTS FOREVER
(2011), the story of an Istanbul music student who travels the country to
record traditional music and confront her past. “Turkey has an extraordinarily
rich cinematic tradition that, despite the growing importance of that country
on the world stage, has remained largely unknown to even the most dedicated
American film goers”, opined Program Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center
Richard Peña. “This 29-film series focuses especially on the many
socially-engaged works--works often made under difficult and even dangerous
conditions--that offered a counterpoint to Turkey's prolific commercial
cinema.” For a complete description of the entire program, visit: www.filmlinc.com
