Dirimart Sinemaskop Türkiye | Turkey Cinemascope | Cinémascope Turquie: Nuri Bilge Ceylan

From Palme d’Or–winning director Nuri Bilge Ceylan, internationally celebrated for his atmospheric, introspective cinema Featuring 100 panoramic photographs that reflect the same mood, stillness, and depth of the Nuri Bilge Ceylan cinema K-Bind layflat binding, allowing seamless full-spread panoramas Deeply personal and evocative visual record of rural Turkey with a minimalist and cinematic narrative Text in English, French and Turkish Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s films, in which long takes and unusual viewpoints are used, betray the desire of the stillness and the shadows of playing the lead role. The commitment of his photographs to a profound imagination can be seen as the clue to success of his films. The photographs, which are identical to film frames and standing by themselves appear as pure compositions, transform elegy to elegance. This trilingual book published by Dirimart and printed using the K-Bind technique, opens up completely flat, allowing imagery to flow undisturbed across a double-page spread. It begins with a vivid excerpt from the screenplay of Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s movie Small Town (1997). With minimal accompanying text, the book’s multi-layered story is told through photographs alone. The book contains 100 panoramic photographs taken by Ceylan in various regions of rural Anatolia between 2003 and 2014. Text in English, French and Turkish
