Fatih Akin On His Career And Straddling German And Turkish Culture On Screen — Red Sea Film Festival
05.12.2022 - 20:13 / deadline.com
Director, screenwriter and producer Fatih Akin passed through the Red Sea film festival Monday where he discussed his career and what he described as the unique experience of straddling Turkish and German culture in his films.
Akin, who has brought his latest film Rheingold to Red Sea, was born in Hamburg and has primarily worked in Germany, but is of Turkish descent.
Akin told the crowd in Jeddah that when his films began to find an audience in Germany and across Europe, he was often frustrated by commentators who described them as “issue films” because they dealt with characters who have dual nationalities and cultures.
“I don’t do problem films. I do films about people with two cultures,” he said. “It took me a while to get away from the word issue. There are no issues in living with two cultures. Other people want you to have an issue. I don’t know the reason for that.”
Later during the keynote, Akin spoke about the complex reception he received after winning the Golden Bear at Berlin in 2004 for Head-On, starring Sibel Kekilli. Akin is the last German filmmaker to win the top award in Berlin, and he said after picking up the honor the industries in Turkey and German tried to claim his success as their own.
“When I won that thing, the Turkish film industry said he’s a Turkish filmmaker, and the German industry said no, no, he’s a German filmmaker. And then there was this back and forth,” he said.
“They made a big fuss over it. I’ll say it again I’m part of the German film industry. I live in Germany, and my company is in Germany, and I make my films with German money, so they’re German films. But films should not have this limit. It’s a good film or a bad film.”
However, despite his success and longevity, Akin said
