Nuri Bilge Ceylan is not only a well-known filmmaker who won numerous awards but also a great photographer, and it reflects in his films. He uses long takes and, every frame in his movies is like a photograph.

There were a lot of people at the opening to celebrate. Mr. Ceylan all the way on the right, in the background, talking with guests.
By the time I arrived at the Tina Kim Gallery it was packed. I tried to see photographs, appreciate them…but wasn’t easy, almost not possible. It was my first visit there and I couldn’t even tell how big the gallery was. I guess not a big one.
Every one was trying to be in a picture with Mr. Ceylan. He was kindly standing, smiling and letting selfies to be taking. It was a good event.
The exhibition was organized to coincide with the “Filmmaker in Focus: Nuri Bilge Ceylan” series at the Museum of Modern Art. (MoMA).
Don’t miss the show and the series which premieres Mr. Ceylan’s latest movie “Kış uykusu / Winter Sleep” in New York.
