After much discussion, they choose “Bizum Hoca” (Our Hodja), a villager loved and respected by everyone, as their unofficial stand-in. Our Hodja differs from the stereotypical imam and is keen to change some of the villagers’ bad habits. Meanwhile, the community becomes embroiled in a hotly contested issue when plans emerge to build one of the region’s controversial hydroelectric power plants (HEPP) on a river flowing through the village. Villagers oppose construction of the HEPP and a battle begins. Our Hodja finds himself leading the villagers who started the protests. When the official imam, Ekrem, eventually turns up, the battle continues at a different level, for Our Hodja is pitched directly against Ekrem, a supporter of HEPPs who tries to convince villagers of the benefits of the plant. With its focus on a love of nature and humanity, Our Hodja is a comedy that looks at religion from a different standpoint. 17 F. Serkan Acar (Artvin, 1975) studied psychology at Istanbul University.

When her conservative and increasingly unhinged mother turns up uninvited and refuses to leave, Nesrin’s writing stalls and her fantasies of village life turn bitter as the two are forced to confront the darker corners of each other’s inner worlds. 37 Senem Tüzen (Ankara, 1980) holds a degree in Cinema & Television from the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts Academy, Istanbul.

There is no knowing who wrote the script; nor does anyone have the nous to ask. One morning, copywriter Özgür Başarır (33) fails to receive his script. Although he puts it down to a routine error, things soon spiral into evergrowing chaos. Discovering he has been ousted from the system, Özgür tries without success to work his way back in. He then decides to overthrow the system and sets about persuading his closest friends and family to join him. But being content with the artificial past imposed upon them, no one is prepared to give Özgür credence. Özgür is left with one choice: to act like someone else. Alpgiray M.

Adem has just finished primary school. The summer is long. Adem’s father wants him to work in the tobacco fields, but Adem is stubborn and persuades his father to let him be a soda seller’s apprentice… It is Ramadan, the traditional month of fasting. Despite his young age, Adem decides that he, too, will fast; when his family opposes he continues secretly nonetheless. But fasting in the Aegean heat is far from easy and he also discovers that breaking the fast ahead of time means 61 days of penance. At the end of a tiring and difficult day, Adem breaks his fast with just minutes to go. As he walks desolately along the street, a car pulls up. The strangers inside claim to be friends of his much-loved ‘big brother’, Hasan, and ask Adem to take them to him. While thinking he is the bearer of good news, Adem unwittingly brings about Hasan’s death. As everything begins to blur, we return to the hospital room at the beginning of the story. Adem is in the prison infirmary soon after the 1980 military takeover, on the 61st day of a hunger strike.
