01 November 2013 Daily News - Turkey anger Kurds with wall to control crossovers from Syria
There have been protests in southeastern Turkey against a wall being built along the border with Syria in a bid to control illegal movement. In largely Kurdish Nusaybin district, plans call for the wall to span just a fraction of the 900-kilometre border, but this highlights Ankara's growing concern about the spillover of violence from northern Syria, a battleground for armed groups who want territory. A local official in Nusaybin did not confirm how long the wall would be. The mayor of the village is on a hunger strike to stop construction. A resident said: "Putting up a wall here means separating the Kurdish people. We know who is being divisive. The people of Nusaybin do not accept this. We will react. Our mayor is not alone." Kurdish politician Resat Kaymaz said: "We've said it before, this is a wall of shame. Walls around the world have been brought down. Some took a while, but they've been brought down. We are fighting for this wall not to be built. But if it goes up, it will come down. This is not a wall being built on a border. This is a wall being built between the people of Kurdistan. We want the building to stop." Turkey -- open to refugees -- is sheltering around half a million people who have fled the war in Syria, but smugglers and rebel fighters have been able to cross the border undetected in many remote areas and it is a major security challenge.- published: 01 Nov 2013

La seva població està formada per uns 25 milions de persones, dispersos entre Turquia, l'Iran, l'Iraq i Síria, on n'hi viuen uns dos milions. Precisament, per la fragmentació d'aquesta cultura entre diferents estats —amb la debilitat que això comporta— els kurds han patit discriminacions i persecucions de forma repetida. En el documental La revolta silenciosa dels kurds de Síria volem focalitzar en la realitat dels Kurds que viuen a Síria, principalment a la franja nord del país. I és que amb l'esclat de la guerra civil al país, en el marc de les anomenades 'primaveres àrabs— els kurds de sirians han posat en marxa un procés d'autodeterminació històric que vol acabar amb la repressió que viuen des de gairebé 50 anys i promoure el seu reconeixement polític i cultural. Avui, l'actualitat sobre aquest procés històric que viuen els kurds pateix una gran marginació informativa ja que els enfrontaments armats entre el règim sirià i els diferents grups opositors monopolitzen la cobertura periodística. És per això que creiem necessari donar a conèixer l'altra Síria, aquella que ha apostat per una lluita pacífica des de l'inici de la revolta el març de 2011. Com a periodistes catalans volem analitzar una situació de vital importància, semblant a la viscuda a casa nostra amb la fi de la dictadura franquista i amb paral·lelismes amb la situació que vivim actualment. Per tot plegat, ens proposem enregistrar un film documental de 50 minuts que reculli aquesta realitat des de la base. No és tracta de fer una anàlisi tècnica i diplomàtica dels fets, sinó presentar el dia a dia dels qui estan implicats en aquest procés. Per això, seguirem cinc personatges i amb una mirada audiovisual gairebé contemplativa —evitant entrevistes directes i buscant la interacció entre personatges— mostrarem com viuen dels primers mesos d'aquesta autoproclamada 'autonomia de facto'. Sinopsi A Efrin, en una zona rural del nord de Síria, els Kurds es preparen per a l'arribada de la primavera, que en la seva cultura equival a l'any nou. Enguany, però, aquesta festa (plena de càrrega identitària) es viurà en un context especial: el país ja fa dos anys que està en guerra i, a més, la minoria kurda de Síria —que es mantenen equidistants davant les disputes entre el govern i el rebels— ha aprofitat aquesta inestabilitat per fer-se amb el poder dels seus territoris i reivindicar la seva identitat, reprimida des de fa gairebé cinquanta anys. Alí Alí, un farmacèutic de 71 anys, ens explicarà perquè s'ha ofert per ensenyar, de nou, Kurd en una escola on fins ara només s'estudiava l'àrab. Khairir Baran, un jove periodista, narrarà com han posat en marxa la nova televisió kurda. La jove Nunjin Awaz, de només 21 anys, ens mostrarà com viu la seva nova vida de miliciana de l'exèrcit Kurd. Seguirem al grup Celek Piroz Be que, aprofitant la festa d'any nou, podrà cantar per primera vegada en públic cançons tradicionals Kurdes. Finalment, Hanif Mesto, representant del Partit de la Unió Democràtica, analitzarà com s'estan creant les noves estructures polítiques que han d'articular la gestió d'aquests territoris. Una mirada plural i directa sobre revolució silenciosa dels kurds de Síria.- published: 15 Sep 2013

FREE SYRIAN ARMY WAR / Syrian Kurds Seek Transitional Administration, Not Independence
Subcribe http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJNKZJFyq8Uw0iFAL9jaSOA?sub_confirmation=1 follow us TWITTER @newsdailyplanet Salih Muslim, head of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), said to Al-Hayat yesterday, Aug. 13, on the eve of his talks with Turkish officials in Istanbul, that consultations had begun to form a Kurdish transitional administration in the northeast and north of Syria. These consultations aim to form a council comprised of around 100 members that will be in charge of civil administration in [the areas Kurds refer to as] "West Kurdistan" and drafting an election law for parliamentary elections in this region. Muslim arrived in Istanbul on Aug 13. for talks with Turkish officials on the extent of cooperation between the two sides amid media silence, as requested by Ankara. In a telephone interview with Al-Hayat yesterday, Muslim avoided disclosing the content of these talks, indicating only that they complement the earlier round of talks on July 25. Two days ago, Muslim said that he would raise with the Turks the support they provide to Salafists in light of the parties' cooperation agreement. On the other hand, Muslim indicated that there are some signs of Turkey's dwindling support for Salafists in exchange for the regime allowing relief activities to reach northern Syria. "Yet this is not enough," according to him. The Turkish side had promised Muslim to encourage the opposition Syrian National Coalition to engage in a dialogue with the Kurds, while the foreign relations committee in the National Kurdish Council held talks with the president of the National Coalition, Ahmad al-Jarba. Moreover, the leader of the PYD explained that officials in the party had begun consultations for the formation of a transitional administration and not a transitional government, as reported a few days ago. These consultations began with Kurdish blocs, with each party represented by around five members, forming a council comprising between 100 and 120 members. He explained that the council would be fulfilling two missions: administering people's affairs in West Kurdistan — including northern and northeastern Syria — and drafting an election law for parliamentary elections. "The temporary council will be dissolved by the mere election of a parliament, from which the administrative body shall be formed to run the people's affairs until a solution is reached in Syria," Muslim added.- published: 18 Aug 2013

Kurds protest against wall along Turkey's border with Syria
Thousands of Kurds protested on Thursday against Turkish plans to build a wall along the Syrian border, calling it a move to stop Kurdish communities strengthening cross-frontier ties as Syria splinters from civil war. The rally underscored the sectarian strains spilling over from Syria's war, which grew out of a 2011 uprising against President Bashar al-Assad and has fragmented into a patchwork of antagonistic ethnic and sectarian pockets that risk destabilizing neighboring Middle Eastern countries. Riot police tolerated the protests, organized by Turkey's pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), for much of the day but fired tear gas to disperse groups of demonstrators as a sit-down protest began following the main speeches. Crowds of mostly young men, many waving red, yellow and green Kurdish flags, gathered in the Turkish town of Nusaybin, separated from the Syrian town of Qamishli by a strip of no-man's land and barbed wire fencing. Officials said last month that Turkey would build a two-meter high wall to stop people bypassing checkpoints and prevent smuggling near Qamishli, where Kurdish fighters, Syrian rebel units and Arab tribes have regularly clashed.

Iraq in Fragments -- official theatrical trailer
The official theatrical trailer for the Academy Award-nominated feature-length documentary film, IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS by James Longley.
More information can be found at James Longley's website:
http://www.daylightfactory.com
What The Critics Said:
......................
"this one demands to be seen...mesmerizes with its insight and, rarer still, its beauty."
-- Kenneth Turan, LA Times
"In beautifully shot, almost poetic images, it takes us inside this fractured country, letting us feel what its like from the inside from three points of view--Sunni, Shiite and Kurd. ... A fascinating glimpse of an Iraq the mass media never shows us, the movie is a quiet revelation."
-- David Ansen, Newsweek
"Iraq in Fragments is the latest entry in the crowded field of documentaries from that war. It is also one of the best, partly because it is more concerned with exploring daily life and individual destinies than with articulating a position. ... Whether you think the war is right or wrong, Iraq in Fragments is a necessary reminder of just how painful and complicated it is."
-- A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"... a one-man production of startling audacity and aesthetic provocation. ... if Longley's astonishing feat of poetic agitation has a precedent in the entire history of documentary, I'm not aware of it."
-- Rob Nelson, The Village Voice
"Stands head and shoulders above an overcrowded field of documentaries about the Iraq war...This visually sumptuous movie richly deserves the cinematography, editing and directing prizes it carried off at Sundance last January."
-- Ella Taylor, LA Weekly
"James Longley's mesmerizing Iraq in Fragments shakes off the oversaturated video vocabulary that has defined media coverage of the war-torn country and brings a cinematic beauty, both terrifying and ethereal"
-- Stephen Garret, Indiewire
"The first documentary about the war in Iraq to be made by a real filmmaker...Longley has a gift for intimacy and an eye for vagrant touches of beauty everywhere"
-- The New Yorker
"Iraq in Fragments is astonishing, both in its beauty and its breadth. While Longley's use of jump-cuts and visual collages has the feel of an art piece, it is the director's contact with his subjects that is truly astounding."
-- Dan Glaister, The Guardian
"Iraq in Fragments is a stunningly beautiful film ... What this movie shows, you will never see on the evening news"
-- Michael Moore
"Not just another Iraq war doc...Whether or not James Longley's boldly stylized reportage breaches public indifference, its enduring value is assured: When the war is long gone, this deft construction will persist in relevance, if not for what it says about the mess we once made, then as a model of canny cinematic construction."
-- Nathan Lee, The Village Voice
"The movie is more than the sum of its fragments. The montages are intense, the images ravishing. The movie is tactile. When you finally feel this place, you understand just how little you understand."
-- David Edelstein, New York Magazine
"Viewed by many as the ultimate cinematic statement on Iraq...Mr. Longley is both a tremendously skilled filmmaker and a brave one, having spent two and a half years gathering his footage. Iraq in Fragments is a valuable document and, given the security situation, perhaps the last, and the most enduring, of its kind."
-- New York Sun
"Grade: A. Longley looks and listens, with nonjudgmental sensitivity, as Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish Iraqis explain their colliding, intractable, invaded worlds, and their rising frustrations. He lets people be people, not position-holders. The calm poetry of the cinematography offsets the mess of the politics to stunning effect."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"Terrific...something close to a documentary masterpiece."
-- Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
"Longley's sensitive eye for imagery and graceful camerawork ... gives the film a beauty rarely seen ..."
-- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"highly recommended; a beautifully shot, fascinating and informative portrait ... a searing vision of this historical miasma."
-- Time Out London
"an Iraq that you haven't likely seen before ... stunning"
"Iraq in Fragments is an in-depth marvel"
-- New York Magazine
"[Iraq In Fragments is] an invitation to look again and afresh at a country many Americans may be tired of thinking about, and to be reminded of the complicated human reality underneath the politics."
-- New York Times
"a masterpiece ..."
-- Noel Murray, The Onion
"Differs dramatically from the documentaries about the occupation told from the American point of view...Not only does Longley capture the literal point of view, he also bathes many of his shots in a dark, golden light that mirrors the shadowy threat posed by the country's violent, unsettled state."
-- Eric Monder, Film Journal
"Iraq in Fragments is a beautifully filmed biography of a country on the verge of civil war."
-- Peter Byck, Lousiville Courier-Jou

Disputed Criticality: Tensions within the Field of Contemporary Art in Istanbul
The period in which the contemporary art scene in Turkey established itself as a separate artistic field in the early nineties coincided with the crucial convergence of historical forces that conditioned the crisis of the then existing status quo of the Republic, namely: the end of the Cold War paradigm and consequently the isolationism of the official politics; the urge for integrating into the accelerating dynamics of globalism; escalation of the conflict evolving around the Kurdish problem towards a nearly civil-war state, and the gradual rise of the Islamic tendencies in politics. Within the very context in which the classic political dichotomy between the left and the right still made some sense, the newly emerging platform for contemporary art appealed decisively to an anti-nationalist, anti-statist and anti-militarist lexicon –a position which was exemplified with solidarity campaign with the Turkish Armenian artist Sarkis, one of the prominent mentors of the scene, who was harassed by the implicitly racist remarks of a local art critic in 1992.
The cosmopolitanism of the scene, which was shared by and perhaps inspired from the non-orthodox strands of the leftist intelligentsia, remained unchallenged up until two tragic ruptures: the ultra-nationalist vandalism targeting the opening of a photography exhibition (2005), which documented the pogrom against the non-muslim minorities of Istanbul fifty years ago
- an event which disrupted the illusion that the cultural field was spared from the escalation of tension in the daily politics – and the assassination of Hrant Dink, the ‘eye pupil’ of the cosmopolitan leftism in 2007. The response to the atrocities of the intensifying nationalism (which also lured and incorporated masses of people who previously identified themselves with the left wing of the political range, either social democrat or socialist) from a number of contemporary artists was to lean towards political and/or visual activism.
Yet, the aforementioned and bitter split with the leftfield, between cosmopolitanism and nationalism, started to have repercussions within artistic circles (accusation of being limited to identity politics; raised suspicions about links with European art institutions and funds, etc.); and the rapid commercialization and glamorization of the contemporary art scene in the last couple of years in Istanbul has harmed the credibility of the political engagement of the scene, leaving the artists in a state of paralysis that impedes the elaboration of a critical consistency.
My contribution would expand on this general outline along with the screening of some visual examples.

THE SILENT REVOLUTION (Previous Images)
The Kurds are an Indo-European people living in the mountainous region of Kurdistan, in southwest Asia. Their population is made up of nearly 25 million people, spread between Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Armenia, and Syria, where two million Kurds live. The fragmentation, and subsequent weakening, of their culture between different states, has often gone hand in hand with the discrimination and persecution of Kurds. The documentary The silent revolution of the Kurds in Syria will focus on the Kurds’ daily life in the north of this country. Two years ago, as civil war broke out in Syria within the context of the ‘Arab springs’, the Kurds of Syria launched a historic process of cultural and political recognition to try and bring an end to 50 years of governmental oppression.
However, the priorities of the media in covering the civil war have led to a certain marginalisation of this historic process. That is why we believe it is necessary to show this other Syria, the Syria that has strived for a peaceful outcome since the start of the unrest in March 2011. As journalists, we want to analyse this situation, drawing parallelisms with the Catalan history in the seventies —at the end of Franco’s dictatorship— but also with Catalonia’s more recent and ongoing push for independence from Spain. We want to film a documentary about 50 minutes long to show the Kurdish experience. It is not our aim to offer an academic and diplomatic analysis of the facts, but to present the daily life of those who are involved in this process. For this reason, we will follow five characters —avoiding direct interviews and observing the interactions between characters— to show their lives in the first months of this newfound freedom.
