This event draws on Özgür Çiçek’s current research on Kurdish cinema: a transnational cinema produced from multiple locations, including Europe, Turkey, Iran, Rojava, and Iraqi Kurdistan. The talk focuses on Kurdish filmmaking in Germany, using Kurdish-German filmmaker Ayşe Polat’s documentary The Others (2016) to explore questions of Kurdish history and memory on film. The Others is a critical documentary on memories of the Armenian past in Turkish Kurdistan; it explores Armenian heritage in Kurdistan in scenes of treasure-hunting that evoke the historical curiosity triggered by found objects. The screening is followed by a short paper by Özgür Çiçek (Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz) and a Q&amp;A with Iain Robert Smith (KCL Film Studies).
