Talents Sarajevo 2018

It was such a great experience for me to be selected one of the participants of Talents Sarajevo as a cinematographer. I had a great time with my international colleagues and other talented filmmakers, actor, scriptwriters, producers and editors. We have attended 6 days of workshops, meeting with the experts and screenings all together with a very good energy. Hope to meet with them again in some filmsets or in another film festivals.

Love Sugar

We finished shooting the feat documentary called ''Love Sugar'' in INdia with dir. Simona Zemaityte. We also exhibited some pictures and videos in Delhi.  Here is a very short first trailer of it //

 

directed by Simona Zemaityte director of photography Ugur Becer The surrealist artist Leonora Carrington, a former lover of Max Ernst was driven insane when Ernst was incarcerated. At one point she made a skull out of sugar giving it away to be eaten saying ‘love transforms death into sweetness’. What if there was a factory that produces LOVE? How does it effect machines and people working there? The film is a visual journey through metamorphosis of sugar and love. After 4 years of research, the film is currently being shot in old sugar mills of India, states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh that have long history and tradition of sugar manufacturing.

Ayata Festival!

Very cool location at the top of the Sandras Mountain. I had a great time when I was filming there. Omer CAn did an amazing job on editing. Enjoy the video!

THEME Turkish mythology meets an electronic underground of visionary music – paying homage to the spirit of ancient civilizations of Central Anatolia. Explored by archeologists, historians and anthropologists – it’s a region where shamanism and Tangrism is a practice that is continued even today.Inspired by this fascinating history, culture and mythology, the Ayata Festival narrates the story of the Moon God (Ay Ata), who lived with his Sun Goddess (Gun Ana) on the sixth floor of the skies.Since ancient times, Turkish people of the region have believed in the secret lunar powers of all human beings. The moon itself is a magical guide – each passing phase significant and relevant to a specific phase of life: from ‘new’ born child and ‘full’ mature adult – to the ‘waning’ of the aged until the point of the ‘black moon,’ when life meets death. The spirit behind this mythology ignites a deeper understanding of the Samadhi that is already embodied within us.Following in the footsteps of our ancestors, Ayata Festival is inspired by our search for the divine spirit in the skies; to reach a universal state of mind that unites local music, art, performance and culture with the pulse of the psychedelic music scene. So as we welcome a global roster of producers, DJs and visual artists, we celebrate our shamanic roots that have grown and evolved from Middle Asia to Anatolia.We will gather at the highest peak of Southern Turkey, in the region of Muğla, where ancient civilizations walked with the spirit of the Moon God and the Sun Goddess… We will climb 2,294 metres above sea level to the heights of the Sandras Mountain, with its fairytale trees, wild flowers and emerald waters of the Gokceova Lake – this is a sacred paradise revealing the mysical side of Mother Nature.Join us for this natural symphony… Feel enlightened by the energy of this fascinating landscape; invoke higher realms of consciousness and be inspired by the history, knowledge and culture that it holds… TEMA Arkeologlar, Tarihçiler ve Antropoloklar ın günümüzde halen şamanizim ve tangrizimin izlerine rastladıkları bu bölgede Türk mitolojisi Anadolunun antik medeniyetlerindeki ruhu saygıyla anarak elektronik undergroud visionary muzikle buluşuyor.Bu büyüleyici tarih kültür ve mitolojiden beslenen Ayata Festival, sizleri göklerin 6. Katında Gün Ana ile yaşayan Ay Ata’ nın hikayesine davet ediyor.Antik zamanlardan beri, bölgede yaşayan Türkler ay’ın büyüleyici güçüne ve ayın her evresinin insanın hayatındaki dönemleri simgelediğine inanır. Yeni doğmuş bir bebekten, olgunlaşmış bir bireye, yaşlılıkla gelen solgunluktan, ölümün sonsuzluğuna bu mitolojinin arkasındaki gizemli maneviyat içlerindeki varoluşun bilincinini besler.Yerel müzik, sanat, performans ve kültürü psychedelic müzikle harmanlayarak evrensel bir bilince ulaşabilmek amacıyla. Atalarımızın ayak izlerini takip ederek, ilahi ruhu göklerde arayışımızdan ilham alıyor ve dünya çapında yapımcılar, djler, görsel sanatçılar ile, orta asya ve anadolu da doğan ve yayılan şamanik köklerimizi kutluyoruz.Türkiyenin güneyinde muğla bölgesindeki en yüksek tepede. Binlerce yıl Ayata ve Günana’nın ruhu ile yürümüş bir çok antik medeniyete ev sahipliği yapan Sandras dağinda buluşuyoruz. Deniz seviyesinden 2,294 metre yüksekliğe masallardakini andıran ağaçlar, yabani çiçekler ve zümrüt gibi gökçeova gölüyle doğa ananın gizemlerini sakladığı kutsal cennete Sandras dağına çıkıyoruzBilgeliğin, kültürün ilhamıyla , büyüleyici ve mistik bir manzarada, bu muhteşem doğa senfonisinde bilincin daha yüksek alemlerine seyahatimizde bize katılın. ayatafestival.com DoP -ugur becer -ömer can duman ASSISTANT CAMERA -orçun altun -çağla arslan JIB-ARM OPERATOR -tarık aydoğdu EDIT,COLOR & SOUND COMPOSITION -ömer can duman ART DIRECTOR -özgün özpınar DECOR & VISUAL -botn project LIVE VJ PERFORMANCE -kage bunshin -pixel parellax SOUND SYSTEM -clear sound SCULPTURE & LIGHT - TECH -Merve Özgören -Batuhan Güven TRACKLIST -Paul Oakenfold / Purple -Hedflux & Grouch / Lumination -Mongol / Martial Rage -Merkaba / Dreamscape -Tijah / Futuristic Club -Belik Boom / My Kind Of India
