Saturday 25 September 2010The memory collection
By Moa Geistrand (Sweden), 25 September 2010 | Adana 2010 |Translations: [en]
Afternoons are flying away in Adana. Snapshots from today: policemen armed with clarinets and drums waiting for something in a park, guest of honour Theo Angelopoulos surrounded by amazing still pictures from his films and an army of photographers in a museum, happy jury members, directors and festival arrangers smiling on a boat floating in a sunny lake. My mind being cloudy, I started to collect other people’s strongest memories from the festival so far.

Meeting Nisimasians
By Hanna Mironenko (Russia), 25 September 2010 | Adana 2010 |Translations: [en]
More and more people in Europe know about the NISI MASA young filmmaker’s network. And it’s very pleasant to unexpectedly find this out again while being in the festival in the Turkish countryside. And what is more pleasant, we can find in the Altin Koza film festival catalogue a film made with support of NISI MASA. I mean the film Territories by young portuguese director Monica Baptista produced by Moviement, NISI MASA and Mirumir in 2008 during the first Cinetrain workshop. The film is (…)

"You will be travelling in a car over a bridge”, she says. First thing to do on a filmfestival in Adana, Turkey? Have a cup of thick, sweet, coffee, and then ask someone to tell your fortune in the grounds. ”I can’t see where the journey ends though”, Sera continues, ”but there is a man in a hat lurking around in the dark.”
She says she doesn’t really know how to tell fortunes. That she is only guessing, looking for shapes in the brown mud and making it all up, like seeing stories of giant rabbits (…)

Adana: The Beginning
By Hanna Mironenko (Russia), 23 September 2010 | Adana 2010 |Translations: [en]
Many people believe that festivals start at the opening ceremony where and when it is officially launched. Here, in Adana, I just got proof that this festival starts a couple of hours before when the first aircraft carrying local movie and media stars lands at the airport of the city hosting the festival. For the person who is not familiar with Turkish celebrities’ faces this moment looks like a scene from the Cinderella tale. Like the mouse turns into a thoroughbred horse, your flight (…)
Wednesday 8 September 2010Little Red Riding into the Unfamiliar
By Erzsébet Plájás (Romania), 8 September 2010 | Free section |Translations: [en]
The thrill of the unknown, the sensual magnet of the forbidden leads to discovery in the vivid imagination of a young girl, and unveils new paths for experimentation to the young Romanian director, Eva Pervolovici. Chosen amongst the 5 finalists of the 2011 Berlin Today Award – Berlinale Talent Campus short film competition, Eva’s film project, LITTLE RED produced by Beleza Film, leaves the familiar sector to enter the mythical woods. “The first part is very realistic, almost like the Romanian (…)
