structure of
director(s) and/or script in cinema by including the performers in the creative
process. Before

which is “crime”, the directors shared with performers only the character traits

locked in a place to give shape to their creativeness. The story was shaped by
directors and
performers during the pre-production and shooting process. Technically,
improvisation was used
for the camera as well.

If you want to touch the soul of Anatolia and to explore her rich humanistic
heritage, youmust listen to their songwriters and poets. The most important one
was Asik Veysel (1894- 1973) from the village of Sivrialan, Sivas. In his songs
he preserves the sound of the black earth and the traditions of Anatolia, the
sayings of Yunus Emre, Haci Bektas Veli, Pir Sultan Abdal, and many others. This
film wants to remember Asik Veysel by displaying his grand impact which is still
alive in the traditions of today's Turkish “ozan”s. Together with the famous
baglama player Arif Sag and the worldwide known Turkish pianist Fazil Say, the
film shows how Asik Veysel has reached the cities and the big concert halls of
the world. The film is a journey into the soul of Anatolia. With the music, we
follow the wind and the clouds, strolling along Anatolian mountains and wide
landscapes.
