Festival journey of the movie ‘Azer’ continues

From Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA) Radio, Television and Cinema Department Lecturer 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 is the cinematographer, Mustafa Yazıcıoğlu is the sound designer, 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 gala of the movie was held at Fitaş Cinema. Premiered at the Antakya Film Festival, the film 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 his success with the film "Azer", which continues its journey in international festivals, Director Asst. Prof. Kemal Çipe stated that he continues to work on new projects and said:

“Unfortunately, the film could not participate in festivals in the country due to its duration. Almost all domestic festivals do not include mid-length films. Its journey abroad has just begun. In this context, we received good feedbacks 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 would not say no to it. Although awards are motivating, they should not be a short film’s primary goal. I think it goes against its 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.”
