Ersan Ocak is a Turkish filmmaker with a variety of projects including not only conventional documentary films, but experimental video films, video performances, and video installations all stemming from his academic background. Taking his social science background as a basis, Ocak began by making short videos and went on to explore the documentary both as a genre and language. Using his knowledge of oral history, he has been making experimental documentaries on cities. Since the beginning of 2004, he has involved in a documentary film and research project on crime of honor in the southeastern region of Turkey. Ocak’s work in the documentary film continues to research and experiment with the camera’s and montage’s potential for new audio-visual regimes.
