Crossroads
Turkey / Documentary / 65’ / Color / 2022
Four Turkish contemporary artists from different disciplines; Seçkin Pirim, Gülay Semercioğlu, Candaş Şişman and Sinan Longie, widely recognized, prominent names of Turkish modern art. The documentary tells the story of their unique perspective and personal journeys through their daily lives in the city that inspires them, cajoles them, and provokes them to create their art. Their endeavors, created at their ateliers in different corners of Istanbul, the city with a past, present and future, existing in a maelstrom of different cultures, different languages, different art forms are presented with strolls of enchanting side street, not seen by a mere touristic voyage. Crossroads also records the artistic transformation of these four artists, just like the eternal transformation of Istanbul…
