CORRECTION & UPDATE: “In discussion with Özgür Çiçek”, 12 November 2024 (Tues) ICC Sophia University X Free University Berlin
Megha Wadhwa
Dear all,
Apologies to spam you again but we are excited to share an update with you and also a correction of timing due to change from CEST to CET.
In our sixth and also the last lecture of our Online lecture series: Migration, Memory, and the Art of Storytelling on Film we will also be screening a film Mein Vater, der Gastarbeiter. The director of the film is Yüksel Yavuz, a second-generation migrant in Germany who creates a portrait of his father – who was a first generation migrant in Germany, never felt at home in Germany and then returned to his Kurdish village after working for 15 years at a Hamburg shipyard. The film is 52 minutes and after this we will discuss the film with Özgür Çiçek who conducts research in Germany on Kurdish audio-visual culture produced by directors with migration backgrounds by primarily focusing on the way documentary films reveal the transnational continuities.
We look forward to seeing you! And for those planning to joining from Asia please note that we are now in CET time zone so the event will start at 19:00 and not 18:00.
Please read below for more information.
Looking forward to seeing you on 12th November at 11:00 CET and 19:00 JST!
Best wishes,
Megha

The meeting of film and history sits at a position where it becomes hard to distinguish their interdependent dynamics. To explore the tensions at this juncture, we might ask: How do film and history relate to each other, collaborate, or even conflict? Is history ultimately destined to be filmed or televised? And what if we shift our focus away from films that reflect the official histories of a nation or state? In that case, what role does film play in constructing histories for people whose past, present, identity, and culture have been denied for years, and whose histories have been largely documented through digital film? How does this position film as a medium that uncovers, documents, and archives precarious politics affecting
diverse communities? Inspired by these questions this talk will share the findings of the research Özgür Çiçek conducted in Germany on Kurdish audio-visual culture produced by directors with migration backgrounds by primarily focusing on the way documentary films reveal the transnational continuities.
Özgür Çiçek is a film scholar, researcher, and lecturer in the Media and Culture Department at the University of Amsterdam. She received her PhD in Philosophy, Interpretation, and Culture from Binghamton University in New York. Her research interests span national and transnational cinemas, minor cinemas—particularly Kurdish cinema—migrant cinemas, audiovisual heritage and memory studies, documentary filmmaking, and unstable archives. Her forthcoming monograph, provisionally titled Kurdish Cinema in Turkey: Imprisonment, Memory, and the Archive, is scheduled to be published by Edinburgh University Press. She is
also co-editing a book titled Audiovisual Healing and Reparation: Recuperative Affect of Mediation, which will soon be published by Routledge. For more information
