Tunç Okan (Bay Okan) is an independent emigrant filmmaker born in 1942 in Turkey. He started his filmmaking career in 1974 with his debut film The Bus, which he made in Sweden, and partly in Germany. He completed the film some seven years after he quit his short but hectic acting career in Turkey’s popular commercial cinema industry, Yeşilçam. A dentist by training, Okan’s cinema career started in 1965 after winning an acting competition organised by a popular film magazine. Starring in thirteen films in a period of less than two years, he achieved considerable fame. In 1967, Okan quit his career in Yeşilçam, which he accused of anaesthetising society, and immigrated to Switzerland....
The film Yol (The Road) is a landmark in Türkiye’s cinema history, not only because it shared the Palme d’Or with Missing by Greek-born French director Konstantinos Gavras at the 35th Cannes Film Festival in 1982, but also because it was the first film from Türkiye to receive the highly prestigious Golden Palm. Şerif Gören directed the film, but the award was given to Yılmaz Güney (Pütün), the screenwriter and one of the editors of the film, who was present at the festival. The award was given to Güney, not on behalf of Şerif Gören, but instead of the film’s director, and The Road was publicised both at the festival and in the following period as “a Yılmaz Güney film”....

Ne zaman ki Yol filmini seyrettim, 'Bravo Şerif!" dedim. O doğada, arkamızda, bir tane ağaç vardı. İkiye ayrılmış bir ağaç... Önünden biz de geçeriz... Şimdi, bu resmi bulan kişi yaratıcı kişidir işte. O, yönetmendir. Gerçek yönetmen de budur. O koca dağda o ağacı nasıl buldun be şerif Gören? Nasıl yaptın da onun önünden bizi geçirttin?” Tarık Akan Oradaydım: Altın Palmiyeli Yol, Engin Yıldız, 7 Ekim 2006 Yol'u ben çektim. O benim filmim. Afişte hala Güney filmi yazması bende bir ikilem yaratıyor. Yılmaz Güney'le aramda bir ağabey-kardeş ilişkisi olduğu doğru. Bu bağlamda filmi çekmemi istedi. Ama 82 şartlarının değiştiğini, o filmin Gören filmi olduğunu (...) tescil ettirmek kararındayım. Afişte sadece 'Yılmaz Güney filmi' yazıyor olması onurumu zedeliyor. Buna müdahale edeceğim. (...) Eskiden prodüktörlerin her türlü özgürlüğü vardı. Film üzerindeki tüm hakimiyet onlarındı. Yönetmene söz hakkı tanınmazdı. Bu gün ise şartlar değişti. Uluslararası arenada filmler yönetmenin adıyla anılıyor.” Şerif Gören

The recent explosion of unsolicited material written for the world's greatest, sexiest entertainment medium has largely produced a mountain of wasted paper. Truth is, the many who write from scratch, no matter how talented, have more chance of winning the lottery than creating an excellent script. The few who achieve success do so because they have shed the blood, sweat and tears necessary to master the elaborate art and craft of Screenwriting. This book explodes the myth that a screenplay is the easiest literary form to master, navigates a relatively painless path through the Screenwriting labyrinth, and offers an easy to digest step-by-step guide to writing a script from inception to completion. What's in it? The main areas covered are: Motivation; Research & Development; Genre; Idea; Story & Plot; Audience; Character; Action & Setting; Structure; Format; Dialogue; Synopses & Treatments; Drafts; Marketing & The Industry. There's also a glossary of commonly used jargon to further demystify the process.
In the eighteen years since Ivan Illich’s death, David Cayley has been reflecting on the meaning of his friend and teacher’s life and work. Now, in Ivan Illich: An Intellectual Journey, he presents Illich’s body of thought, locating it in its own time and retrieving its relevance for ours. Ivan Illich (1926–2002) was a revolutionary figure in the Roman Catholic Church and in the wider field of cultural criticism that began to take shape in the 1960s. His advocacy of a new, de-clericalized church and his opposition to American missionary programs in Latin America, which he saw as reactionary and imperialist, brought him into conflict with the Vatican and led him to withdraw from direc...
