Özcan Alper : 2011
Gelecek Uzun Sürer
This visually stunning road movie follows a young Turkish woman's voyage to find her Kurdish lover who has left to take up the fight of his people. Sumru, an ethnomusicologist armed with a tape recorder, sets out to find and record the elegies, or testimonies, of Kurdish survivors of Turkish atrocities. These are eloquently delivered, mostly by women whose men have been killed, often right before their eyes. In the city of Diyarbakır, Sumru meets another man, Ahmet, who shares her interests and soon the two find themselves spending more and more time together. But the underlying reason for Sumru's trip is to trace Harun, the man who claimed her heart. Now she finds herself having to confront the agony from her own past as she draws ever closer to solving the mystery of her lover's disappearance.
