Prof. Dr. G\u00f6zde Sunal and Nursena G\u00fcng\u00f6r, 2nd year student of the Department of Visual Communication Design, President of the Culture and Literature Community. In the event, which took place on May 20-22, 2024, leading names of the art world such as Ruhi Sar\u0131, \u015eirin Gedikli, Hakan Bilgin, G\u00fcl\u015fah Erdur, \u015eahin Altu\u011f, Da\u011fhan D\u00f6nmez and Zihni G\u00f6ktay shared their experiences in the sector and their art journey with the students.<\/p>\n
Ruhi Sar\u0131 said that he started acting by chance and has been doing it continuously for 36 years.\u00a0 Noting that the script and story are important for him to take part in a play, the famous actor said that he can act in any play where he has something to say.\u00a0 Referring to the difficulties he experienced in the sector, Sar\u0131 said, \u201cWe have worked 52 hours in a past series. This was not a profession that could be done if it was not loved enough. In fact, our profession is just now reaching certain standards. It is only recently that I even wrote actor on my passport.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the continuation of the interview, script writer \u015eirin Gedikli stated that her life changed when she saw a municipality’s script writing poster after working in a different profession for many years and said, \u201cI had been writing stories since high school. I continued amateur writing by writing stories and poems for my friend who made a radio program at the university. The play I wrote in the competition organized by the municipality, The Broken Flowers of the Streets, won first place and was exhibited. This is how script writing came into my life in a professional sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
The last participant of the first day was the famous actor Hakan Bilgin. Bilgin said that he had been a theater actor since primary school and decided to become an actor after the company he started after his university education went bankrupt.\u00a0 Stating that he can play any role and be happy, Hakan Bilgin told the participants, \u201cThere is only one person who will make you happy, and that is you! Don’t rebel when looking at any event or life, try to be happy. Then life will be easier for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cinema and Theater Talks continued on Wednesday, May 22nd with Actor Zihni G\u00f6ktay, Writer Da\u011fhan D\u00f6nmez, Director \u015eahin Altu\u011f and Theater Actress G\u00fcl\u015fah Erdur.<\/p>\n
The first guest of the interview organized at Istanbul Commerce University S\u00fctl\u00fcce Campus Open Amphitheater was veteran actor Zihni G\u00f6ktay. G\u00f6ktay stated that his father never took him to a match but always took him to the theater and said, \u201cThere was always theater in every corner of my life. I went on stage with a play in elementary school and I haven’t left the stage for 60 years. Like most actors, I grew up in the Emin\u00f6n\u00fc People’s House, not the conservatory. My teacher was Muhsin Ertu\u011frul. In 1964, I went on stage professionally. My first movie was Tosun Pasha at the insistence of Kemal Sunal.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Saying that he spent most of his life with theater, the veteran actor said, \u201cI played 76 theater plays. The play Luxurious Life, which I played for 28 years, was one of the turning points of my life. I was even offered to enter the Guinness Book of Records with this role. The previous record for a play was 17 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Talking about the interesting events that happened to him, the famous actor said, \u201cWhen we were shooting the movie Tosun Pasha, there was a desert scene. We had to travel by camel. I had never ridden a camel before in my life. Even Akil \u00d6ztuna, who played my father-in-law in that scene, fell off the camel. He had internal bleeding and died. We continued to shoot the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zihni G\u00f6ktay told the students who are thinking of acting that they should make plenty of observations and read a lot.<\/p>\n
The second guest of the interview was Theater Actress G\u00fcl\u015fah Erdur. Erdur said that she met theater in Diyarbak\u0131r, the city where she was born and raised, and continued acting there. Stating that the event that she can call the turning point of her life changed after she told one of the actors after a theater play that she wanted to be an actress, G\u00fcl\u015fah Erdur said, \u201cThe actor I told that I wanted to be an actor told me, \u2018Acting is hard work, go be a butcher\u2019. This motivated me more. Years later, I talked to him again in the same play. I can say that the turning point for me is the actor who told me to be a butcher.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stating that she never watched people who had played the same role before while preparing for the role, Erdur said, \u201cMy teacher M\u00fc\u015ffik Kenter told me, \u2018Whatever role you are going to play, be G\u00fcl\u015fah\u2019. I prefer not to watch those people in order not to be influenced by them. I will never forget what my teacher told me: \u201cThere is no bad play, only bad actors\u201d. Even though I don’t like it, I watch the play until the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
The third guest of the event was Director \u015eahin Altu\u011f, who said that he is a storyteller rather than a director. Stating that directing is a way to tell a story, \u015eahin Altu\u011f said, \u201cLike you, I went to university and graduated from the Faculty of Communication. I shot my first movie during my university years. I think it was really bad, but I didn’t have a story to tell then. The only thing I learned from my first movie was to keep trying. The words of a famous director \u201cI shoot what I would watch myself\u201d are very valuable to me. Because in the same way, I make movies that I can watch myself, even though at some times in my life I made things without a story to make money.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Altu\u011f also gave advice to students about becoming a director or writer, saying, \u201cObserve your surroundings, collect, accumulate and tell your own story. See yourself as a movie farmer. Even watch the elephant director from his first movie to his last movie. Realize his change over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n
He advised the participants to read Memduh \u015eevket Esendal’s book Aya\u015fl\u0131 ile Kirac\u0131lar\u0131.<\/p>\n
Da\u011fhan D\u00f6nmez, the last guest of the interview, started by answering the question of what cinema is. Stating that the movie theater is a magical place, the famous writer said, \u201cA person is very different when he goes to the movies and when he leaves. He can never return as the same person. He is affected by the movie he watches. He even evaluates the movie according to his own life. If a movie fascinates you, that movie is good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saying that people no longer believe in miracles, D\u00f6nmez said, \u201cWhat we call miracles happen on the movie screen. Nowadays, movies serve as a tool for a new life. For this reason, cinema is a miraculous thing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Author Da\u011fhan D\u00f6nmez also advised the students to read Yusuf At\u0131lgan’s book The Idle Man.<\/p>\n
The event ended with students’ questions to the participants and a photo shoot.<\/p>\n
