Meeting Description: TIMES AND WINDS
(BES VAKIT)
(2006, Turkey) Directed by Reha Erdem

In a rural village on Turkey's rocky coast, the growing pains of a Muslim community's adolescents play out in time to the rhythms of nature and Islamic tradition. The muezzin's call to prayer serenely inaugurates each of the film's five sections while Florent Herry's cinematography powerfully conveys the pastoral beauty against which the touching, yet melancholic, ensemble piece unfolds.
Producer: Ömer Atay. Cinematographer: Florent Herry. Cast: Ozkan Ozen, Ali Bey Kayali. Presented in Turkish dialogue with English subtitles. 35mm, 111 min.

This is part of the Visualizing the Sacred: Islam on Film film series at UCLA. For more information about the series, go to:
