Married to The Camera

Director: Doğa Kılcıoğlu
2010, 52', color, Turkish

The film shows us the unknown face of TV world through a very popular show in Turkey called Marriage with Esra Erol aiming to marry people in front of the camera. It focuses on the people looking for a glimpse of hope in the hallways of a huge TV studio: a popular presenter who feels at ease on stage but prays for good luck in the backstage; a director whispering in her earphone to guide her in order to make the show more exciting; a peculiar spectator whose job is to criticize; audience clapping when ordered; and a young man dancing to hip hop music without ever being in a disco all his life.

Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
