International Antalya Film Festival
One of the most prestigious cinema events of Turkey’s arts and culture scene, the ‘53rd International Antalya Film Festival, will be held from 16th to 23rd October 2016. With the support of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, the Festival is organized by the Antalya Culture and Art Foundation (AKSAV). Antalya International Film Festival, held annually since 1963 is the most important International film festival in Turkey. Taking place amongst the palm lined boulevards, and sun drenched avenues of beautiful city of Antalya, the Festival will offer numerous exhibitions, retrospectives and opportunities to discover new trends in World Cinema and it is determined to be the best yet in 2016. Manaki Brothers films come to lightThe Balkans first filmmakers Yanaki and Milton Manaki Brother’s full set of restored films were shown in Turkey first time ever at the Golden Orange Film Festival’s ‘In Search of Celluloid’ program. Filmed at the end of the 19th and the early 20th centuries, their films reminded audience of the great photographic and film opus and undeniable photographic and aesthetic values of the rich treasury of the brothers Milton and Yanaki Manaki. The audience also enjoyed Macedonian musicians Blogaj Maratov and Bojan Maratov’s specially composed pieces of music at the screening. Prof. Nazmi Ulutak, head of Cinematheque of Macedonia Igor Stardelov, film critic Burcak Evren and Cagri Inceoglu participated in the panel to discuss Manaki Brother’s archive. Igor Stardelov said “We made an extraordinary effort to take care of the photography archive of the Manaki’s, we kept them in the wooden boxes buried in the ground. They had left a unique archive to Macedonia. Stardelov continued: “Manaki’s archive is extremely important for the world heritage; they filmed local miracles, dances, traditions, religious rituals and feasts, weddings and funerals. However their interested shifted on unique and great historical events; executed patriots, monarchy, welcome ceremonies of the delegates and executives. They had a particular interest to film the crowds.” “We have Ottoman documents in our archives and we would gladly share these with the Turkish academics.” He added. The other panelist Cagri Inceoglu said: “World cinema heritage does not pay enough attention to Manaki’s. The Greeks took care of the Manaki’s as the first filmmakers of the Balkans, they are hardly known in Turkish cinema history.” Burcak Evren also stated that the Manaki Brothers were actually first Turkish filmmakers. Evren added: “They were the private photographers of the Sultan Resat of the Ottomans. Macedonia used to belong to the Ottomans back then and therefore their works belong to the lands where they were shot.”
