Experiencing Interruptions?

STOP LOOK LISTEN PASS

One driver (Bekir) and two inspectors (Selim and Cagri) are driving to a firm to inspect. Bekir’s charger is half-working and he asks Cagri to get one from the firm they’re ahead. Selim hears his demand and gets angry about it since his demand also means a bribe relationship. During the trip, Selim hides his anger behind his humor and puts Bekir under pressure. Bekir’s mention of his children makes Selim thoughtful of his choices. While they’re inspecting the firm, Bekir struggles with his charger and throws it to the bin. After the inspection, Selim and Cagri come without a new charger and leave Bekir off duty. As they’re walking away, Bekir waits for them to disappear and gets out of the car to get his old charger from the bin.

Director Biography - Muhammed Günaydın

Muhammed Gunaydin. I'm graduated from the faculty of Electric-Electronic of Ege University. Since 2011, I've been working as an engineer. I came to Istanbul to educate myself in the areas of script-writing and directing and in order to do that, I attended some workshops. In 2016, I registered the faculty of Turkish Language and Literature of Bosphours University and after two years, I transfered myself to the faculty of Philosophy. In 2018, I've attended to FilimOkulu, which is found by Onur Ünlü and Funda Alp, and since then I've been involving in different parts of filmmaking. During this period, I've also registered for the graduate program of Film-Drama of KadirHas University and now I continue studying there.

Director Statement

By considering Stanislavski’s method of unity in acting, I tried to find the actions hidden under the sentences with different actors’ performances. The regie in the film is born out of those performances. The actions occurred are usually the reactions of one against the words of the other. I built the layout on this idea. The halfway of the film is inside the car. To increase the feeling of being stuck, I chose the color of yellow and green mostly, and hold the camera always inside of the car. I kept my distance with the characters in order to show the dynamics of their relationships in each other. For the scenes out of the car, I prefered static shots and less cuts so that there became an uncanny and still feeling after the tension in the car. I tried to stay in the base that winning or losing makes no sense.
