История
Турецкий режиссер, сценарист, продюсер, родился в Стамбуле. Когда ему было два года, вместе с родителями переехал в Израиль, а когда ему исполнилось шесть лет они решили вернуться в Стамбул. Член еврейской общины Стамбула. Изучал кино в Бостоне и Нью-Йорке. «Конкурсантка» — его первый полнометражный фильм. Вот что Эйтан говорит о своей режиссерской работе: «В мире, где взаимопонимание и честность столь редки, для меня кинематограф — единственный способ дышать. Я продолжу делать фильмы, невзирая ни на что, чего бы это от меня ни потребовало, потому что мне это необходимо».

The same route after three and a half centuries... A creative documentary following the footsteps of the Ottoman-Armenian intellectual and traveler Eremya Celebi Komurciyan into the cosmopolitan Istanbul of the 17th century. Long before the invention of cinema, Komurciyan situates himself as a subject who observes the city of Istanbul as if he had a camera in hand. Borrowing Komurciyan’s timeless cine-eye, we delve into contemporary Istanbul to capture what is “inaccessible to the human eye” through the remnants of his route.

В Хайфе с 2011 года проводится удивительный конкурс красоты — за право быть «Мисс Холокост» соревнуются женщины, которые выжили в войну. Несмотря на всю торжественность мероприятия, старые травмы остаются и вряд ли забудутся. С этим конкурсом все очень неоднозначно: его организует правое сионистское движение «Международное христианское посольство в Иерусалиме», а по поводу самого двусмысленного соревнования возмущаются в СМИ различные спикеры, в том числе другие выжившие.

A new production center, maybe set in an undetermined future. What is being produced here? We shall find out by following the given traces. Two pairs of hands trying to untangle themselves. A human sheep virtually cut into pieces. A warm welcome to the authors and actors of their lives. Stories being told, their narrators dissected. When the gates open, those leaving Labour Power Plant have been made fit for the demands of the labour market. The next production cycle begins… People with their own wills, interests, and desires are being equipped with the different physiological, cognitive, psychological, and social core competencies to transform them into human resources. Meanwhile, the management is introducing new methods to enrich the products with the innovative features of ‘self-evaluation’, ‘self-optimisation’, and, most importantly, ‘self-fulfilment’. A series of interventions are performed, leading to an assembly that may appear strange at first sight.

Istanbul, today. The city has become one big machine that pulls people apart. Through the streets of the city echo the voices of young male and female workers. The harsh reality of an uncertain economic phase is felt in each segment of what is left of the Turkish society class structure. A Kurdish girl stands up against her family rules and tradition. The last young member of a diminished clan remembers the past ruefully. A child worker is forced to support his family since he is the only one who earns some money. A young unemployed male sells himself to tourists in front of the Blue Mosque. His body is the last working tool he is left with. Torn between the West and the East, Istanbul becomes the city symbol of a world that can neither go back nor (yet…) step forward.
