Update: The Sea In Me
After living in Sinop as Artists in Residence for over a month and a half (thanks to the SatellietGroep, the Sinopale and NLTR400) and shooting on location, the production of The Sea In Me has finally been completed. We’ve moved onto the post-production phase.

We are currently working hard to complete the project in time for the screening in the Netherlands which will take place in November 2012. We will keep you informed about the exact time/date of the screening. Meanwhile, here’s the trailer for you to view, and for more information on the project, please visit our Documentaries page.

Bahanur Nasya & Yılmaz Vurucu: ‘The Sea In Me-Icimdeki Deniz’. Maurice Bogaert: ‘Artist in Residence/Guest Worker-Konuk Sanatci/Misafir Isci’ and ‘Everything Will Be Beautiful-Hersey Harika Olacak’. ‘You know you’ve become a part of the city when you can’t go out for a stroll without bumping into, and conversing with, at least 10 people along the way.’ (Bahanur/Yilmaz) ‘NOW WAKES THE SEA’
Since July 15 Maurice Bogaert (artist), Bahanur Nasya (architect) and Yilmaz Vurucu (writer, producer, director) are artists in residents for NWTS in Sinop and are currently doing on-site research, engage with the local community and collaborate with local experts in the international context op Sinopale 4.

Six weeks artists in residency

We all arrived in Istanbul on July 15th. We had agreed to meet up at the bus station (Otogar) for a long bus ride to the northern most point of Turkey: Sinop. Even though we had never met before, the densely hot air, the overwhelmingly populated crowd and the raucous noise caused by (among other things) the sounds of engines and the vocal performances of bus drivers yelling out their final destinations couldn’t prevent us from spotting each other. Long live Facebook, or perhaps the fact that it was not so difficult to spot a sweaty Dutch guy with a backpack from among the crowd. We had just enough time for a çay before heading out for our long and arduous 12 hour bus ride to Sinop.
In Sinop we were met by Melih Görgün who showed us around and introduced us to Sinop and the Sinopale crew. A welcoming start to a great, intensive and inspiring stay/working period for all three of us. During the first two weeks, the three of us travelled intensely and explored the city, its surroundings and of course, its people. By the end of our first week, we realized that we had already become a part of the city, as every stroll we took resulted in us bumping into and conversing with numerous people along the way. We also explored the habits of the locals, the beauty of Sinop as well as its peculiarities. Following our initial ‘research’ phase, we moved onto the next phase: producing the work and preparing the presentation for the 23rd.
Since August 1 the Sinopale office is fully operative and the artistic production process is underway. Everyday, the group of artists, curators, organizers and fantastic volunteers is growing.

‘The Sea in me – Icimdeki Deniz’
Following extensive research on the culture, architecture, and history of the area, we arrived in Sinop on July 15th to shoot a documentary film. Our initial goal was to reveal the recent developments along the Black Sea coast, and how it effects the residents of this area. After a two week period of research on site, we realized that the stories of the residents of Sinop already contained these topics within them. So we decided to produce a documentary which tells the stories of a small coastal town on the Black Sea coast. Through their stories, we knew that the topics of rapid urbanization, unbalanced development, migration and social change would be revealed, and our hunch turned out to be correct.
We spent more than 15 days shooting the documentary. We followed a fisherman as he waited for the sea to warm up so he could collect mussels to make a living, musicians as they performed local songs for us, the living habits of a family in a village close to the sea coast, the story of a family devastated by a sea accident which took place more than 20 years ago… We conducted numerous interviews with residents from all walks of life… In short, they opened their homes and lives to us, and we opened our lenses and f-stops, and captured their thoughts, daily routines, hopes, aspirations, stories and tragedies. Our goal is to reveal how centuries of coexistence with nature and the sea has created a rich and vibrant culture, one which needs to be maintained and not sacrificed to the norms of what we define as global modernity. We hope that ‘The Sea In Me’ will provide a unique insight into the relationship between humans and the sea.

Bahanur Nasya and Yilmaz Vurucu have been chosen as artists-in-residence by the satellietgroep as part of their ‘now wakes the sea’ program. From July 15th to September 1st, they will fly out to and reside in Sinop. During their residency, they will produce a documentary about the Black Sea Coast, following extensive research on the culture, architecture and history of the area.
The documentary will be screened at the Sinopale (The international Sinop Biennial), as well as part of a touring film festival across the Black Sea coast (most likely including the Ukraine, Georgia, Russia, Romania and Bulgaria) and as part of a special program in Istanbul and Amsterdam.
