Thessaloniki Doc Fest Pic Trains Lens on ‘Invisible’ Victims of Turkey’s Political Crisis
2016年夏天，土耳其武装部队的成员试图对强人雷切普·塔伊普·埃尔多安（Recep TayyipErdoğan）政府进行政变。普施（Putsch）失败了，在其之后发生了一场清除，导致暂停或解雇了数万士兵，法官，教师，警察和公务员，以及镇压与反对派吉伦（Gulen）相关的人的镇压随后，已经对超过一百万的土耳其国民进行了调查，以寻求恐怖主义和对政变的可能支持。其中一半以上已被捕，而有75,000多名土耳其人逃到欧洲寻求庇护。这些事件构成了希腊记者玛丽安娜·卡库纳基（Marianna Kakaounaki）的《导演》首次亮相，构成了“无形”的背景，该首演是在三个流放的土耳其人之后，他们努力适应希腊的新生活。这部电影得到了IMEDD（媒体教育和开发孵化器）的支持。Kakaounaki是屡获殊荣的印刷品和电视J在过去的五年中，我们的新闻记者涵盖了欧洲持续的移民危机的故事。她担任CBS新闻的现场制作人，曾为《华尔街日报》报道，并一直是奥林匹克广播服务的兼职员工，是八场奥运会的记者。她与Variety谈到了“ Invisible”，该世界在CPH：DOX上首映，在塞萨洛尼基的新移民国际比赛中放映之前。是什么激发了您制作这部电影的？这一切都始于2016年底，当时我涵盖了八名土耳其士兵的案子，他们在未遂政变中逃到希腊的希腊报纸上逃到了希腊。埃尔多安总统最初要求他们引渡。因此，这对我们来说是一个大故事。两国之间的政治一直很复杂。当您如此参与故事时，我开始获得有关数百名土耳其人如何逃脱的信息到希腊。学术界，法官，商人，医生都被指控一夜之间被指控犯有恐怖主义。当我意识到整个社区都有持续而巨大的迫害时，我想为报纸做一些事情，而当我开始与其中一些人见面时，我坚信这应该是一部电影。但是，他们花了数年的时间同意参加。因此，他们不愿与您分享他们的故事？在将近两年的时间里，他们太害怕与我交谈，即使是唱片。花了很多时间，没有那么多才能获得他们的信任 - 我觉得他们很早就信任我 - 但是让他们感到足够安全，可以公开开放。因此，这是一个真正的问题。实际上，这仍然是一个问题。在其他国家 /地区有确认的绑架案件，社区成员被迫返回土耳其并被监禁。结果，他们很长一段时间以来的选择一直是看不见的生活。但是我想他们觉得尽管有风险，他们仍必须讲述自己的故事。既然他们已经认识我并信任我，我们开始拍摄。您如何遇到三个主角？艾哈迈德实际上是我在社区中最早遇到的人之一。我仍然记得他带我去的那一天，他与其他土耳其人一起建立了他。我简直不敢相信所有这些家庭如何生活在雷达之下，同时也在参加密集的希腊语言课程，梦见他们有一天他们真的可以在希腊建立生活。我希望艾哈梅（Ahmet）成为我的主角，因为他是一个有趣的角色，他可以生动地介绍更广泛的社区的故事。我在2019年9月遇到了另外两个主角。损失正在前往雅典。因此，一旦他们到达，我就会遇到他们，并在一个移动翻译应用程序的帮助下，我们谈到了他们在土耳其和trag中的生活。他们遭受了苦难。当我回到家时，我无法停止思考他们和他们的故事。下次我们见面时，我要求他们参加我想做的这部纪录片。他们立即说是，即使我告诉他们他们可以考虑并考虑风险。但是他们什么都不担心，他们没有什么可失去的。在接下来的几个月中，随着他们的故事的发展，我花了几个月来遮蔽这三个人：艾哈迈德（Ahmet）想扎根于希腊和卡拉家族，他们的悲伤不会让他们安顿下来。对于卡拉家族而言，这是什么样在希腊？冈卡（Gonca），幼儿园老师和与古伦运动有关的学校的经理埃比布基尔（Bebubekir）决定躲藏。他们的恐惧并非没有根据。他们的财产很快被没收，他们的银行帐户被封锁，他们都被指控犯有恐怖主义。他们被审判的前景吓坏了，他们可以将他们从孩子身边带走并将他们放在监狱中多年，他们决定逃离土耳其。当他们越过希腊时，他们是自由的，但这不再重要了。他们必须接受令人难以忍受的创伤，该创伤正在慢慢揭示。现在，他们正试图保持视线并获得可以在北欧和艾哈迈德（Ahmet）安全到安全的假护照？他在希腊的生活是什么样的？艾哈迈德·波拉特（Ahmet Polat）曾经是一名医生，他在希腊的一个秘密地点与其他也被迫流放的人在一起。几乎每周，他们都欢迎新来。为了能够帮助他们，艾哈迈德（Ahmet）将练习医学的梦想放在一边，并献身于他们创造的空间。这个不断增长的社区的成员很难习惯他们的新发现自由。他们担心在土耳其和希腊之间进行的持续和艰难的谈判中，他们可能会被用作讨价还价的筹码 - 两个国家有悠久而复杂的争议历史。您希望观众会从“隐形”中摆脱什么？我希望观众会感觉像他们哈Ve与这些家庭一起行走，他们对自己的生活有了更好的了解。他们的需求和愿望是普遍的：找工作，支付账单，为孩子们获得更好的生活。他们不是逃避战争。在一个应该是民主国家的国家，他们遭到了不公正的迫害。如果您看一下清除数字，每个数字都有类似的故事，就像电影中所讲的那样。人们仍在越过，他们仍然害怕和隐藏。该纪录片旨在使这些人更加明显。
In the summer of 2016, members of the Turkish armed forces attempted to stage a coup d’état against the government of strongman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The putsch failed, and in its aftermath came a sweeping purge that led to the suspension or dismissal of tens of thousands of soldiers, judges, teachers, police and civil servants, as well as a crackdown against those alleged to be connected to the opposition Gulen movement.
Since then, over one million Turkish nationals have been investigated for terrorism and possible support for the coup attempt. Over half of them have been arrested, while more than 75,000 Turks have fled to Europe to seek asylum. Those events form the backdrop to “Invisible,” Greek journalist Marianna Kakaounaki’s feature directorial debut, which follows three exiled Turks as they struggle to adapt to new lives in Greece. The film was supported by iMEdD (Incubator for Media Education and Development).
Kakaounaki is an award-winning print and TV journalist who has spent the past five years covering the story of Europe’s ongoing migration crisis. She works as a field producer for CBS News, has reported for the Wall Street Journal, and has been a part-time employee of the Olympic Broadcasting Services, working as their features reporter for eight Olympic Games. She spoke to Variety about “Invisible," which world premiered in CPH:DOX, ahead of its screening in the Newcomers International Competition in Thessaloniki.
What inspired you to make this movie?
It all started in late 2016, when I was covering the case of eight Turkish soldiers who had fled to Greece the night of the attempted coup for a Greek newspaper. President Erdogan initially asked for and soon demanded their extradition. Therefore, it was a big story for us; the politics between the two countries have always been complicated. And as it happens when you are so involved in a story, I started getting this information about how hundreds of Turks were actually escaping to Greece. Academics, judges, businessmen, doctors, who were all accused of terrorism overnight. When I realized that there was an ongoing and massive persecution of an entire community, I wanted to do something more than a feature for the newspaper, and as I started meeting some of those people, I became convinced that this should be a film. However, it took years for them to agree to participate.
So they were reluctant to share their stories with you?
Very. For almost two years they were too afraid to talk to me, even off the record. It took a lot of time, not so much to gain their trust—I feel they trusted me early on—but for them to feel safe enough to open up so publicly. So this was a real concern. And it still is a concern, actually; there are confirmed cases of kidnappings in other countries and members of the community have been forced back to Turkey and imprisoned. As a result, their choice for a long time had been to live as if they were invisible. But I think at one point they felt they had to tell their story despite the risks. And since they already knew me and trusted me, we started filming.
How did you meet the three protagonists?
Ahmet was actually one of the first people I met in the community. I still remember the day he took me to this underground place he had set up together with other Turks. I couldn’t believe how all these families were living under the radar and at the same time were doing intensive Greek language courses, dreaming that one day they could really build a life in Greece. I wanted Ahmet to be one my protagonists because he is such an interesting character, and he could introduce the story of the wider community vividly.
I met the other two protagonists in September 2019. I got the news that a family who had suffered a terrible loss were on their way to Athens. So as soon as they arrived, I met with them and with the help of a mobile translation app we talked for hours about their life back in Turkey and the tragedy they had suffered. When I got back home, I couldn’t stop thinking about them and their story. The next time we met I asked them to take part in this documentary I wanted to do. They said yes right away, even though I told them they could think it over and consider the risks. But they feared nothing, they had nothing left to lose. I spent the following months shadowing those three people as their stories were developing: Ahmet who wanted to put down roots in Greece and the Kara family whose grief wouldn’t let them settle.
What was it like for the Kara family as they adjusted to life in Greece?
Gonca, a kindergarten teacher, and Ebubekir, the manager of a school associated with the Gulen movement, decided to hide. Their fear was not unfounded. Their property was soon confiscated, their bank accounts blocked, and they were both accused of terrorism. Horrified by the prospect of a trial that could take them away from their children and put them in prison for years, they decide to flee Turkey.
When they cross to Greece they are free, but that doesn’t matter anymore. They have to come to terms with an unbearable trauma that is slowly being revealed. Now, they are trying to stay out of sight and obtain fake passports that can bring them to safety in Northern Europe.
And Ahmet? What was his life like in Greece?
Ahmet Polat, once a doctor, is spending his days in a secret location in Greece with others who were also forced into exile. Almost every week, they welcome a new arrival. To be able to help them, Ahmet puts his dreams of practicing medicine aside and dedicates himself to the space they have created.
Members of this growing community have trouble getting used to their newfound freedom. They fear they might be used as bargaining chips during ongoing and difficult negotiations between Turkey and Greece—two countries with a long and complicated history of disputes.
What do you hope audiences will take away from “Invisible”?
I hope the audience will feel like they have walked alongside those families and that they form a better understanding of their lives. Their needs and aspirations are universal: to find a job, pay the bills, secure a better life for their children. They are not fleeing war. They were unjustly persecuted in a country that is supposed to be a democracy. If you look at the purge numbers, each number has a similar story like the ones told in the film. People are still crossing over, they are still afraid and hiding. This documentary aims to make these people more visible.
