Gölge - Future of Love , alternative title Gölge - Schatten , often just Gölge , is a feature film by Sema Poyraz from 1980 . The film, made as the graduation film of the then student at the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin , is one of the first feature films to be made by what would later be called a German-Turkish cinema .
action
The 18-year-old student Gölge lives in Berlin-Kreuzberg as the daughter of Turkish immigrants . Both parents work hard. The family, which also includes Gölge's younger sister, shares a small two-room apartment. Gölge always sleeps on the couch in the living room because there is not enough space.
Gölge, who grew up bilingual, experiences internal and external conflicts in the course of the action: the awakening of one's own sexuality and the search for her place at the intersection of Turkish and German mentality, tradition and culture. Often their urge to live stands in contrast to the restrictive nature of their parents, who, although living in Germany for more than 20 years, have remained outsiders. Gölge dreams of becoming an actress, but her father refuses, as this is not a suitable profession for young women in Turkey. In return, however, the mother allows Gölge to take part in her friends' parties and thus in experiences outside the close family circle. However, flirtations are subject to constant surveillance. In the end, Gölge packs her things and leaves her parents' home.
production
The shooting of Gölge took place from March 25 to May 31, 1980 in West Berlin . The film is conceived as a “chamber play with sparse dialogues”. It was made in 1980 by Sema Poyraz and her Greek fellow student Sofoklis Adamidis as a graduation film at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin and was shown for the first time on West 3 on German television on August 3, 1990 . In the film, Poyraz also processed personal experiences.
In 2010, the film, which was previously rarely shown, was part of the film series Ich sehe dich an! Performances to accompany and complement the exhibition Strangers? Pictures of the 'Others' in Germany and France since 1871 in the German Historical Museum Berlin .
criticism
Contemporary reviews described Gölge - Future of Love as a "pretty impressive graduation film". Variety certified Gölge's "authenticity that is remarkable and convincing".
The German Historical Museum Berlin called Gölge - Future of Love a "seldom shown founding film of Turkish-German cinema, which in its conceptual rigor and in the representation of society as a continuous negotiation process as in the sympathetic staging of the sexual fantasies of those growing up Gölge is treading a new path.
