AA muhabirine değerlendirmelerde bulunan Londra Yunus Emre Enstitüsü Müdürü
Mehmet Karakuş, ilki geçen aralıkta yapılan film haftasının gördüğü yoğun ilgi
üzerine ikincisini de yapmaya karar verdiklerini söyledi.
Türk Filmleri Haftası'nın geleneksel olarak yapılmaya devam edeceğini belirten
Karakuş, "Burada ciddi bir boşluk var. Türk filmlerinin İngiltere'de yeteri
kadar tanıtılmadığını görüyoruz. Birkaç yıldır Türk filmleri Londra'da gereken
ilgiyi göremiyor, temsil edilemiyor." dedi.
Etkinlik kapsamında sadece uzun metraj filmlerin değil, belgesel, kısa film
gösterimleri ile panel ve söyleşilerin yapılacağını anlatan Karakuş,
düzenlenecek panelde Türk dizilerinin dünyada yakaladığı başarının da masaya
yatırılacağını söyledi.
Londra'nın önde gelen üniversitelerinden SOAS ile Kings College'ın film
haftasına salonlarını açarak destek verdiğini anlatan Karakuş, uzun metraj film
gösterimlerinde de kentin en eski sinemalarından Regent Street Sineması'nın
kullanılacağını dile getirdi.
Karakuş film haftasının Türk sinemasını İngiliz yapımcılar ve dağıtıcılarla
buluşturmayı amaçladığını sözlerine ekledi.
- Dizilerin başarısı
Film haftası kapsamında Türk dizilerinin ele alındığı panelde konuşan oyuncu
Perihan Savaş, "Her eve girebilmesi ve herkesin izleyebilmesi açısından diziler
önemli." dedi.
Türk dizilerinin yurt dışında büyük ses getirmeye başladığını belirten Savaş,
"Doğru şeyler yaptığınız doğru yerlere temas ettiğiniz zaman insanlar
kendilerini bulup izliyorlar." diye konuştu.
- "Anlatacak çok hikayemiz var"
Oyuncu Emre Kızılırmak da Londra Film Haftası vesilesiyle İngiltere'deki
izleyicilerle buluşmaktan duyduğu memnuniyeti dile getirdi.
Her ülkenin filmleri ve dizilerinde kendi kültürünü yansıttığını ifade eden
Kızılırmak, Türkiye'nin bu alanda dünya çapında ilerleme kaydetmeye başladığına
dikkati çekti.
"Anlatacak gerçekten çok hikayemiz var." diyen Kızılırmak, "Oyunculara,
yapımcılara, enstitülere, devletimize ve fon sağlayıcılara çok iş düşüyor.
Bunlar kolektif bir şekilde çalışmalı." görüşünü paylaştı.
Kızılırmak, Türkiye'nin film ve dizi alanında kendi anlatım dilini geliştirmeye
başladığını vurgulayarak, "Kendi tarzımızı ortaya koymaya başlıyoruz. Gittikçe
bütün dünyanın duyacağı ve bütün dünyayı ilgilendiren projelere imza atacağımızı
düşünüyorum." dedi.
Sinema yazarı Kerem Akça, Londra Film Haftası'nın sürdürülmesi gereken bir
etkinlik olduğunu belirterek, son bir yılda adından söz ettiren Türk filmlerinin
hafta kapsamında izleyiciyle buluşacağını anımsattı.
- Yılmaz Güney filmiyle sona erecek
SOAS Üniversitesinde dün akşam Osmanlı İmparatorluğu döneminden başlayarak Türk
sinemasının öyküsünü anlatan "Bırakın Çocuk Oynasın" adlı belgeselle açılışı
yapılan Türk Filmleri Haftası 30 Nisan'a kadar devam edecek.
Londra Türk Fimleri Haftası kapsamında yönetmenler Serdar Akar'ın "Çiçero", Ömür
