The Sofia International Film Festival is poised to have an adventurous 25th anniversary
German Lessons by Pavel Vesnakov
One can only imagine what it must be like to be on the team of the Sofia International Film Festival. One year after the 2020 edition was cancelled only days before it was supposed to begin, the festival again faces an enormous amount of uncertainty, which must have been especially daunting given the fact that the 25
th edition should have been a celebratory one. But one can still hope for the best while preparing for the worst, and the Sofia IFF seems poised to show that culture and cinema are here to stay, despite the trying circumstances.
Movie Review: The Cemil Show Is an Interrogation of an Impossible Aspiration
When you canât distinguish between fantasy and reality, itâs madness; when you donât want to distinguish between them, itâs cinephilia.
A still from The Cemil Show .
Film10/Feb/2021
Cemil (Ozan Ãelik), a 32-year-old man, works as a security guard at the InciPark mall, âthe pearl of Istanbulâ. A milquetoast employee, he is insulted by his boss, ignored by his colleagues. Cemil is a nobody. But something shifts in him, when heâs watching old Turkish B movies: He becomes a somebody.
Revering the veteran actor Turgay Göral (Fuat Kökek), Cemil copies his moves. He imitates dialogues, threatens enemies, shoots them with a gun. Like his world, his gun is make-believe, too, shaped from his thumbs, index and middle fingers. Life is drab without a dream; Cemil has one, too: He wants to be an actor. BariÅ Sarhanâs
