“Yaþamýn Kýyýsýnda” bana göre “Duvara Karþý” nýn ( Gegen die Wand) felsefi ve politik anlamda devamýdýr. “Duvara Karþý” nýn çekimleri bittiðinde 29 yaþýmdaydým, bugün 32 yaþýmdayým ve bir oðlum var. Cannes Film Festivali’nde jüri üyeliði yaptým, dünyayý filmimle gezdim ve þimdi iþlemek istediðim bir çok þey yaþadým ve gördüm. “Yaþamýn Kýyýsýnda” son 3 yýlýn izlenimlerini konu alýyor. Dünya politikasýnda olanlarý – 11 Eylül 2001 ve bundan sonra oluþan- dünyayý saran korkudan Türkiye’nin Avrupa birliðine katýlmasý tartýþmalarýna kadar olanlarý kendi tarzýmla ele alýyorum.
Türkiye’nin AB üyeliðiyle ilgili kiþisel fikrim “Evet, hemen þimdi” ile “Hayýr, üye olmasa daha iyi” arasýnda gidip geldi. Olumsuz tavrým beynimde topladýðým sol fikirlerle ilgili. Þöyle ki; “AB emperyalist bir oluþumdur” ya da “AB’nin amacý ekonomik ve kültürel küreselleþmeyi saðlamaktýr” gibi argümanlar aðýr bastý.
Bugün biliyorum ki, Türkiye’de yüzde yüz uygar bir toplum, önkoþulsuz insan haklarý, ekoloji bilinci ve fýrsat eþitliðinin saðlandýðý bir eðitim sistemine, AB olmaksýzýn kavuþmak uzak bir hayal. Türkiye ile AB’nin iliþkisini bana sanki iki insan arasýndaki zorlu bir aþk iliþkisi gibi geliyor. Ayten ve Lotte’nin, Ayten ve Susanne’nin, Nejat’ýn, Ali ve Yeter’in karþýlaþmalarý, bu tuhaf bilateral iliþkiye örnek olabilir. Anahtar kelime affetmektir. Çünkü affetmek ayný zamanda karþýndakini hatalarýyla kabul etmektir.
Filmin þiirselliði benim kiþisel geliþimimle ilgilidir. Bununla birlikte yeni keþfettiðim Latin Amerika sinemasýnýn ve yapýmcýlarýnýn bugünkü düþüncelerime etkide büyük bir rolü olmuþtur. “Amores Perros” ve “21 Gram” gibi muhteþem filmlerin yazarý Guillermo Arriga, bana ilham verdi. Sinematografik bakýþ açýmý deðiþtirdi. “Hem Y Tu Mama Tambien” hem de “Motorcycle Diaries” bana politik, gelenekçi olmayan sinemanýn tüm dünyada deðerlendirilebilir olduðunu gösterdi.
Oðlumun doðumu ve hamilelik bana hayat ve ölüm hakkýnda düþünme imkaný verdi. Þuna kuvvetle inanýyorum ki, bebeklerin geldiði yer, öldükten sonra gideceðimiz yerdir.Ölüm hakkýnda pozitif bir film çekme fikri çok hoþuma gidiyor. Rüyada ölüm deðiþikliðe delalettir. Yeni bir hayata geçiþ, bir metamorfozdur. Birçok kültürde ölüm kötü ve negatif bir þey olarak görülmenin tersine, umudu temsil etmektedir.
Benim hikayem ölümün nasýl karmaþýk dramlar ve aslýnda çözülemeyen çatýþmalar yarattýðýnýn göstergesidir.Tüm bu felsefi ve politik fikirlerden gerilimli, keyifli ve deðerlendirilebilir bir sinema filmi yapmak istedim.
Sanýrým bu mümkün.

The Second "Kazakhstan Montage of Cinemas: Film & Cultural Festival" launches at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) in Los Angeles on Aug. 3 for a one-week celebration of Kazakh cinema and culture, including musicians.
The festival is a stellar opportunity for directors, producers, location scouts, and the general public to get an understanding and appreciation of this exotic locale without leaving home.
Sweeping from the Caspian Sea on its Russian border to the Altai Mountain range on the Chinese border, Kazakhstan has a rich nomadic history as well as a powerful current tapestry of cultures. Since gaining independence in 1991, the Central Asian Republic has embraced its remarkable filmmaking past that dates back to the 1930's, when Sergei Eisenstein made his classic “Ivan the Terrible” in this mystic land, and has even given rise to several "New Wave" movements.
Opening night on Aug. 3rd begins with a reception at 7 pm, and includes a program of live entertainment until 11 pm, at the DGA Theater.
Sponsored by Kazakh Geographic Society (KazGeo.kz ), helixfilmsinc.com , the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Honorary Consulate of Kazakhstan in Los Angeles, the festival includes Advisory Board Members Steven-Charles Jaffe (GHOST, K19), David Marconi (Screenwriter, ENEMY OF THE STATE), and Ambassador Erlan Idrissov.
Tickets cost $10 (including free parking) can be purchased from the festival’s website. "Kazakhstan Montage of Cinemas: Film & Cultural Festival 2012" will be held Aug. 3 - 9 at the Directors Guild of America on 7920 Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, California

The 65th Festival de Cannes drew to a close tonight with the closing awards ceremony hosted by Academy Award nominated actress Berenice Bejo.
The top prize was captured yet again by Michael Haneke for his portrait of an elderly couple Amour. This is the second time he has bested Jacques Audiard who was also in competition with De rouille et d'os (Rust and Bone). Haneke becomes one of the few two-time Palme d'Or winners alongside Alf Sjoberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Bille August, Emir Kusturica, Shohei Imamura, and Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne and only the second after August to win with consecutive films – his previous Palme d'Or was for his 2009 film Das weiße Band (The White Ribbon).
Matteo Garrone picked up his second Grand Prix for his film Reality. Previously, he had won in 2008 for Gomorrah.
The surprise winner for the Jury Prize was Ken Loach with The Angels' Share. He previously won the Palme d'Or in 2006 with The Wind That Shakes the Barley.
Another previous Palme d'Or winner won Best Screenplay. Cristian Mungiu who made 4 luni, 3 săptămâni þi 2 zile (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) returned with După dealuri (Beyond the Hills), and it also shared the Best Actress for its stars Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur.
In spite of the heavy American representation in the selection, the only American film to win a prize was Benh Zeitlin's Un Certain Regard entry Beasts of the Southern Wild which won the Camera d'Or for first film. Last night, it had won the FIPRESCI international critics' prize.
