Event description:
Directed by: Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Turkey) 2018
Selected to compete at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, Wild Pear follows Sinan, a young college graduate, during a frustrating transitional period in his life. He has returned to his family’s home, where he tries in vain to secure funding for the book he’s writing and stave off an unexciting future as a schoolteacher. Sinan will also have to confront his father, Idris, who while good-natured and charming is also a wildly irresponsible man who has spent years gambling away the
family’s savings and good reputation.
Hosted by Ozgen Felek and Selim Tiryakiol, (NELC & Turkish Studies)
