A conversation with Cem Kaya about his documentary debut film REMAKE, REMIX, RIP-OFF: ABOUT COPY CULTURE & TURKISH POP CINEMA.

REMAKE, REMIX, RIP-OFF: ABOUT COPY CULTURE & TURKISH POP CINEMA
(DE, 2014, 100 min)
Turkey in the 1960s and 70s was one of the biggest producers of film in the world even though its film industry did not have enough written material to start with. In order to keep up with the demand, screenwriters and directors were copying scripts and remaking movies from all over the world. The documentary visits the fastest working directors, the most practical cameramen and the most hardheaded actors of  that years, to have a closer look into the country’s tumultuous history of movie making. REMAKE, REMIX, RIP-OFF took 7 years in making in which Kaya watched thousands of movies and conducted about a hundred interviews.
