and the image gazes back
belit sağ
An essayistic reflection on image production: from the first tentative black-and-white shots of a human being to present-day image politicisation. belit sağ comments on the codes, gestures and compositions in films and media and what ambivalences lie in historical and contemporary images of conflicts and aspirations for freedom. Stories of what lies in-between and how the fictional and the real intertwine.
Guests: belit sağ and Cana Bilir-Meier
