CCC - Interview Can Evrenol (NIFFF 24)

🎬 Current Cinematic Conundrums (CCC): An Interview with Can Evrenol – From Baskin to Sayara and Turkish Nightmares

In this special CCC episode of the Art or Trash Cinema Podcast, Flo sits down with Turkish filmmaker Can Evrenol, known for cult genre hits like Baskin, Housewife, and his latest film Sayara (fresh off the NIFFF 2024 lineup).

They dive deep into:

• 🎥 Can’s unique blend of horror, surrealism, and social commentary

• 🎞️ The reality of making genre films in Turkey

• 👻 His love for both arthouse cinema and pure genre mayhem

The conversation touches on influential films like Takashi Miike’s Audition (1999), the gritty Turkish gem Somersault in a Coffin (1996), VHS-style action with Death Warrior (1984), and the haunting slow-burn Ivy (2015) by Tolga Karaçelik.

What inspires a filmmaker to dive into Turkey’s collective subconscious? How do repression, myth, and chaos become cinematic language? And what the hell is Sayara, anyway?

🎧 This one's for the horror heads, arthouse lovers, and fans of international cinema that bites back.
