Fascinating Yet Inconsistent View on Turkish Pop Culture

Remake, Remix, Rip-Off is a German-Turkish co-production about the heyday of "Yesilcam" - the Turkish equivalent to Hollywood. Yesilcam was the name of a street in Istanbul, in which most film productions during the 1960-80s were made, sometimes several hundred each year. The documentary filmmaker Cem Kaya traced down dozens of people associated with Yeslca during its most vibrant years. In this documentary, the rise and fall of Yesilcam is depicted: the erratic years of unauthorized remakes during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the political and social struggles, casting a shadow over Turkish cinema in later years. The documentary closes with a topical perspective on the contemporary Turkish production of movies and TV shows, highlighting the hostile workplace environment, that has already cost lives, due to exhaustion on set and flawed planning. Remake, Remix, Rip-Off might not be perfectly structured and lacks a clear message, but the unique premise and its way to celebrate the imaginativeness of Turkish cinema is stunning.
