I have attended the “Two Film One Book Event” which was organized by the Maltepe Nazım Hikmet Cultural Center on Sunday, 17 May 2015. After signing my book Lâmia-CONSANGUINITY my short documentaries (Coastlanders 8 to 8 and the Abandoned) were screened.
Yeni Çağdaş Kadınlar Eğitim Kültür ve Yardımlaşma Derneği’nin 13 Mayıs Çarşamba günü İstanbul Yelken Kulübü’nde yapılan toplantılarına konuşmacı olarak davet edildim.
Dernek başkanı Sayın Gülgün Yüceer’in konuşması ile açılan toplantıda derneğin etkinlikleri ve faaliyetlerinin yanı sıra Franz Kafka’dan hoş bir anekdota da yer verildi.
Çalışmalarımla ilgili kısa bir sunum yaptım; ardından kısa belgesel filmlerim 8’den 8’e SAHİLDEKİLER ve Metruk’u izledik ve Lâmia-KAN BAĞI’ndan bir bölüm okuyup, kitabımı dernek üyeleri için imzaladım.
Nazik davetlerinden onur ve mutluluk duyduğum derneğin tüm çalışmalarında başarılar dilerim.
