 Film of Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali Kemal Çipe to be screened at 'Azer' Noble Film Festival!


Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Faculty of Fine Arts (FAF) Radio, Television and Cinema Department Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali Kemal Çipe's film 'Azer' will be screened at the Noble Film Festival to be held in Bengalore, India.


'Azer' is a mid-length film that deals with three different stories in the main focus of a legacy story. Stating that he creates layers with symbols, names, actions and dialogues in the film, director Kemal Çipe questions the psychological factors behind the events in social life.
 
Erkan Bayfidan was the cinematographer, the sound designer was Mustafa Yazıcıoğlu, and the music was made by Atakan Ilgazdağ for the film "Azer", which includes important names such as Erhan Yazıcıoğlu, Murat Prosciler, Halil Kumova, Bahar Hacıbektaşoğlu, Ali Yaylı and Barbaros Ergün. The premiere of the movie was held at Fitaş Cinema. The film, which premiered at the Antakya Film Festival, was included in the 2021 selection of the Lift Off Global Network after its success in the International Meihodo Visual Media Festival and Asian Cinematography Awards. The film, which will be screened at the Noble Film Festival to be held in Bengalore, India, continues its festival journey.
 
Following the success of the film 'Azer', which continues its journey in international festivals, director Kemal Çipe stated that he continues to work on new projects:
 
“Unfortunately, the film could not participate in festivals in the country as of its duration. Almost all domestic festivals do not include mid-length films. His journey abroad has just begun. In this context, there were good returns in a short time. The issue of awards is a different matter. I think it is important that the film meets its audience at the primary stage, and if we get awards from festivals afterwards, we wouldn't say no to it. Although awards are motivating, short films are not and should not be films made with awards in mind. I think it goes against your spirit. Without a new project? Someone who loves cinema and makes movies is always in new projects with new ideas. Of course, sometimes it is possible to implement it, sometimes it is not. I continue to work on new projects.”
