Young Turks of the German Cinema

This unusual series includes a generous sampling of bitter, fresh, zany, and touching films from a “new wave” of contemporary Turkish-German directors. These young men and women question their identities and their sense of belonging as they move between Germany and Turkey, challenging the culture of their parents, creating road movies of alienation, and dealing with sexual discovery. Over the last thirty years, the Turkish diaspora has grown to more than two and a half million people in Germany. It is a community that has established a dynamic ethnic and urban presence and formed a curious and exciting blend of cultural identities. Showcasing their assimilation in a flurry of documentaries, shorts, and feature films, this new generation of Turkish-Germans has migrated once again: this time within the artistic landscape, using new visual tools to shape their identities as part of a new culture and new generation.
