Experiencing Interruptions?

At the edge of all possibilities

Ulubatlı Hasan is a neighborhood where the heat of a city where the sun goes down half the year meets the smell of sewers and houseflies. The neighborhood, which consists of independent toll booths, is divided into sections, ethnic identities and crime types. Although it takes its name from the Ottoman soldier who first hoisted the flag on the East Roman walls during the conquest of Istanbul, it has been referred to as a "crime center" since the 1950s, not with victories but with defeats. Almost everyone, even children, has one or more offenses on their record, such as tattoos on their arms.

Adana Çukurova plain is one of the most fertile agricultural areas in the world. This land is so fertile that people call it the womb of Anatolia. We draw attention to the injustice of income in this abundance and abundance. Poverty brings with it crime and the following words of a poet come to mind. If you dig up the criminal, a human will come out.
According to some, the barbarian clan that feeds on chaos, according to others, the daredevil children of poverty...

Director Statement

I am quite interested in the different aspects of these two regions. Firstly, I am trying to understand the social and economic challenges, poverty, inequality, and crime-related difficulties of the people living in a neighborhood like Ulubatlı Hasan. At the same time, the personal stories, cultures, and social structures of the people living in this neighborhood are also important to me.

On the other hand, the richness and productivity of the Adana Çukurova plain impress me a lot. However, social problems such as poverty and inequality that also exist in this region concern me. By telling stories and presenting solutions, I try to contribute to raising awareness and solving these problems.

Overall, as a director, my goal is to draw attention to the existing problems in society, increase social awareness, and tell stories through cinema to understand people's differences.
