Poster for Speaking of Flowers

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"Speaking of Flowers" is a short experimental film that examines the relationship between objective and subjective reality. In the film, two actors come into conflict on set while their film work becomes indistinguishable from the reality of their relationship. The film jumps between their conflicts on set and an abstracted space where the actors physically express their increasingly complicated emotions towards each other, and towards their toxic director.

2021 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The paintings of the artist Güler Yücel tell about weddings and funerals, of almond blossom and olive harvest, of her husband, the poet, and of herself, her love of life and wisdom. “I can’t paint anything that I have not seen”, says Güler Yücel. She is a chronicler and a prophetess, because her pictures describe the cycle of life, which we find again and again in everyday life: on the Turkish peninsula of Datça, over which the wind of two seas blows.

Her keyed up imagination through lucid dreams becomes her – and our – reality.

It’s a dream though, and only by making it happen ourselves, the illusion becomes real.

... has been used in women's studies classes on rape. Its energy is the energy of protest and of rock music. A woman is dragged and dragged through dirt with increasing violence. As the violence increases, so does the beat and intensity of the harsh, eletronic sound. The audience can identify deeply with the woman's movements and so experience the depth of this violence.–A. G. "She abandons her body entirely."–Boston Sunday Herald.
