Made by mostly French directors, and featuring their immigrant grandmothers, the shorts had the same irresistible flavor as Martin Scorsese’s 1974 documentary “Italianamerican.” In its opening scenes, Catherine Scorsese, the director’s mother, sits on a shiny, plastic-wrapped couch and considers the silliness of her son’s film: “What should I say? You want me to tell you how I make the sauce?”
I have watched it countless times, always noticing some new, magnificent idiosyncrasy in Ms. Scorsese’s tone, her gestures, her humor, the precise clutter of her countertops and shelves. I thought of her again when I watched the charming short by Zeynep Dilara.
Zeynep Dilara
is an independent director who has built her career on what she calls “Social Perception-Enhancing Films”, a screenwriter supported by the Ministry of Culture's General Directorate of Cinema, an independent educator, writer and documentary filmmaker who teaches story writing and screenplay.
In addition to all these, she is a female entrepreneur and entered the video field by establishing a company that produces content and provides consultancy to corporate companies and international brands in the field of video marketing.
She continues her film productions in the documentary genre and writes for literary magazines.
The last series of articles published in KafkaOkur (literature, philosophy, art) is an interactive article that reaches the reader from the #fikrinipaylas (en. Share Your Toughts) column. The series, which also includes the articles of amateur writers, enabled many new writers to interact with the magazine for a year.
She still continues to reach writer candidates by sharing information and resources on the platform called "Yazabilirsin" (en. You Can Write), of which she is the founder and content manager.
She portrays herself as a visionary.
Because as you can see, behind everything she do there is a desire to spread a vision.
Now I portray myself as a visionary.
Because behind everything I do, there is a desire to spread a vision.
