White as Snow<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The film WHITE AS SNOW (Turkey, 2010) by writer\/director Selim Gunes screened in Sofia during the 15th Sofia International Film Festival. The film is based on a short story called AYRAN by Sabahattin Ali about a young twelve year-old boy, Hasan, who lives in poverty in Turkey\u2019s cold East Black Sea mountain area. He lives with his mother and two younger brothers while his father is in prison. In order to survive and provide for his siblings and mother, he sells a yogurt drink called Ayran to passersby, but it is too cold for the drink so he is unable to sell it and thus his family starves through the harsh winter days.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film is beautifully shot using an experimental and poetic montage that leaves the viewer to piece together the story as it goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite numerous warnings from the local pear seller, Kadir, to not walk home in the snow after dark, Hasan does so anyway and gets lost. Hasan freezes and falls in the snow, beset by dreams or illusions of his past with his father who is now in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film opens with the father\u2019s arrest but many mysteries remain after the film ends, like how and why the father ended up in prison in the first place and for how long he has been there and if and when he will ever get out. Nothing is obvious in this film as the editing leaves just enough holes in the story for each viewer to make their own assumptions as to how it ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHITE AS SNOW Is certainly nothing like I\u2019ve seen before. While you might not understand all that happens in the film and leave the theater full of questions, the haunting images, stunning photography and emotion-filled expressions will stay with you long after seeing the film.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senaryosunda ve y\u00f6netmenli\u011finde Selim G\u00fcne\u015f\u2019in imzas\u0131n\u0131n bulundu\u011fu \u2018\u2019Kar Beyaz\u2019\u2019 filmi (T\u00fcrkiye 2010) 15. Sofya Uluslararas\u0131 Film Festivali\u2019nde g\u00f6sterimdeydi. Sabahattin Ali\u2019nin Ayran hikayesinin sinema uyarlamas\u0131 olan Kar Beyaz, T\u00fcrkiye\u2019nin Do\u011fu Karadeniz B\u00f6lgesi\u2019nin da\u011flar\u0131nda fakirlik i\u00e7inde ya\u015fayan on iki ya\u015f\u0131ndaki k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck Hasan\u2019\u0131 konu al\u0131yor.<\/p>\n

Babas\u0131 hapiste olan Hasan, annesi ve iki k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck karde\u015fi ile birlikte ya\u015f\u0131yor. Hayatta kalabilmek, karde\u015flerini ve annesini ge\u00e7indirebilmek i\u00e7in yoldan ge\u00e7enlere so\u011fuk k\u0131\u015f g\u00fcn\u00fcnde ayran satmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor. Ancak Hasan so\u011fuk havada ayran sat\u0131\u015f\u0131 yapamad\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in, ailesini ge\u00e7indiremiyor. Hasan\u2019la ayn\u0131 yerde armut satan Kadir Dede, karanl\u0131kta karda eve y\u00fcr\u00fcmemesi y\u00f6n\u00fcnde Hasan\u2019a uyar\u0131da bulunuyor. Uyar\u0131lar\u0131 dikkate almayan Hasan yola \u00e7\u0131k\u0131yor ve kayboluyor. Hasan\u2019\u0131n so\u011fukla ve kurtlarla olan m\u00fccadelesinde, hapiste olan babas\u0131n\u0131 ve ge\u00e7mi\u015fte ya\u015fad\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131, sanr\u0131lar\u0131 \u015feklinde g\u00f6r\u00fcyoruz.<\/p>\n

Deneysel ve \u015fiirsel tarzdaki filmin \u00e7ekimleri son derece g\u00fczel. Baban\u0131n tutuklanmas\u0131yla ba\u015flayan film, bitti\u011finde bir\u00e7ok \u015feyi gizemli b\u0131rak\u0131yor. \u0130lk etapta baban\u0131n nas\u0131l, neden tutukland\u0131\u011f\u0131, ne kadar bir s\u00fcredir orada oldu\u011fu, hapisten \u00e7\u0131k\u0131p \u00e7\u0131kamayaca\u011f\u0131 veya ne zaman \u00e7\u0131kaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 \u00f6\u011frenemiyoruz. Filmin ilerlemesiyle birlikte hikayenin par\u00e7alar\u0131n\u0131 birle\u015ftiriyorsunuz. Filmde hi\u00e7bir \u015fey belirgin de\u011fil fakat; filmin kurgusu, filmin nas\u0131l bitece\u011fine y\u00f6nelik varsay\u0131mlar\u0131 izleyicinin kendisine b\u0131rakacak a\u00e7\u0131k alanlar sa\u011fl\u0131yor.<\/p>\n

KAR BEYAZ kesinlikle daha \u00f6nce g\u00f6rmedi\u011fim t\u00fcrde bir film. Her ne kadar filmde olan biten her \u015feyi tamamiyle anlayam\u0131yor, kafan\u0131zda bir s\u00fcr\u00fc soru ile sinema salonundan \u00e7\u0131k\u0131yor olsan\u0131z bile; e\u015fsiz g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fcler ve duygu y\u00fckl\u00fc ifadeler filmden sonra uzun s\u00fcre haf\u0131zan\u0131zda kalmaya devam ediyor\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
