Ruhen bir çocuk olan Vera, yaşamla sınırların kırıldığı döngüde kendine bir çift
göz bulmuştur. İkisi aslında bu ilişki nesnenin farklı yüzleridir. Biri
diğerlerinin gözünde var olur ve diğeri kendini diğerinde bulur. Aşk ve nefret
arasındaki ince çizgi varoluşun boşluğuna dönüşür ve yeniden doğuşun başladığı
yer burasıdır. "Cehennem başkalarıdır." Sartre
Vera, who is a child in spirit, in the cycle where boundaries with life are
broken, she find herself a pair of eyes. The two are actually different faces of
the object in this relationship. Ones to be exists in the eyes of the others and
the other finds herself on the other. The thin line between love and hate
becomes the emptiness of existence, and this is where rebirth begins. “Hell is
other people." Sartre
Every word spoken in the name of art is a drop overflowing from one's soul.
Khora, the first film of my existential trilogy, deals with the emptiness of
existence through love where borders become permeable. It's a situation where we
have to die to be born, because as Sartre says “Hell is other people.” Nalan
Abbasoğlu: She started her literary journey with short story studies and
literary criticism as part of a workshop. She graduated from Philosophy and
Latin Language Literature Departments at Istanbul University. After receiving
screenplay training at a private institution, she assisted in mise-en-scene film
criticism and script training stages. She started her master’s degree in Cinema
Department in Marmara University. Comparative east-west mythologies,
existentialism, and philosophy of language are of her particular interest. She
participated into two documentary projects on the female director of 1990s
Turkey and contemporary female directors. These two documentaries are about
cinema; they also include the academic research of its director and set an
example in filmmaking together. She continues writing methodical film reviews
and creating film projects. Khora is her first fiction film.
