Was planning to share this a bit later, as I didn’t want to take up too much space while 299 students—as well as journalists, politicians, and architects—are being unlawfully imprisoned in my country by a corrupt and inhumane government.

Mon entretien avec Rita Azevedo Gomes autour de son nouveau film Fuck the Polis est désormais en ligne. Je suis très heureuse d’avoir pu discuter longuement avec elle et d’explorer sa vision du cinéma en profondeur.

I don’t want to complain about it too much but after five years, I still feel like an outsider among French critics and when I go back to Turkey, I feel the same because Turkish critics always tend to ignore me and never acknowledge the work I’ve been doing. It’s exhausting.

Geçtiğimiz hafta takip etme şansı bulduğum Adana Altın Koza'dan izlenimlerim yayında. Bu ülkede fikirlerimizi, eylemlerimizi, mücadelemizi, hattâ neredeyse tüm varoluşumuzu “rağmen” edatının kırılgan zemini üzerine inşa ettiğimizi hatırlatan filmlere dair...

Had a busy few weeks after Locarno and Venice, so I’m only sharing this now: my interview with the remarkable editor Dominique Auvray, to whom we owe films by Duras, Pedro Costa, Wang Bing and many others, is in @outskirtsmag.bsky.social's 3rd issue. Many thanks to Dominique and Christopher!

sorry but i really don’t like when outlets commission filmmakers to write essays or interview other filmmakers. like, girl?? they already have jobs. do you see me directing films? no!! they should stick to their job and you should be commissioning me.

cahiers has Nadav Lapid's yes on their cover in the new issue. and while I can see why some people think it's an important and urgent film, I don't see them ever talking about Palestinian cinema, let alone putting a palestinian film on their cover.

i usually wake up in the morning and wish i were dead or living in my teenage years. i don't know what the next day would bring but usually it's depressing, terribly depressing.

incompetent, mediocre journalists are creating empty discourses about actors, while intelligent and informed writers and critics, who could have had meaningful conversations about films, are shut out by press agents at festivals because they're not popular enough.

I had the chance of interviewing Kamal Aljafari at the Locarno Film Festival following With Hasan in Gaza’s premiere. It’s usually really hard to engage in-depth conversations during festivals. But I think I nailed it with this one:
