Join a public discussion with Turkish filmmaker Kutluğ Ataman and NU faculty regarding the evolution of his filmmaking and the inspirations of his work.
Ataman's films examine the ways in which people and communities create and rewrite their identities through self-expression. His films include Serpent’s Tale (1994), Lola + Bilidikid (1998), 2 Girls (2005), Journey to the Moon (2009), and The Lamb (2014). He has won numerous awards for his filmography from Turkey, Italy, Norway, Germany, India, and the United States, and served as Chair of the Jury at the Istanbul International Film Festival in 2009. He is also a celebrated artist, and won the prestigious Carnegie Prize for his work Küba (2005).
