Come and step into the conversation and uncover the secrets behind these burning questions:

2) What was the artistic intention behind Kuru’s two cameo appearances in the film?
3) What led Kuru to cast non-actor Manolya Maya in the leading role, and what was the experience of working with her like?
4) How did AI contribute to the development of this film?

Ask no more—this interview spills the answers you didn’t even know you were chasing.
Melik Kuru (1989) is a Turkish screenwriter and director born in Istanbul. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Media and Visual Arts from Koç University and moved to New York in 2016 to pursue further studies at Columbia University. Kuru previously directed the short films “Kids” (2019) and “We Are a Family” (2020).
In his first feature film, “Dump of Untitled Pieces,” Kuru examines the art world through satire and sharp humour, poking fun at installations, performances and exhibitions where curators use ChatGPT to appear more knowledgeable. At the heart of the film is Manolya Maya, who is not trained as an actor but has experience working as an assistant director. As a playful touch, Kuru also appears on screen in two radically different but very humorous cameo roles.

Kuula kaasa ja saa vastused nendele põletavatele küsimustele:

2) Mis oli Kuru kahe cameo-rolli kunstiline mõte selles filmis?
3) Kuidas jõudis Kuru peaosa valikul mitte-näitleja Manolya Maya juurde ja kuidas sujus temaga koostöö?
4) Kuidas aitas tehisaru kaasa “Nimeta loomingu kalmistu” loomisele?

Tundub põnev? Ära muretse, vastused pole üldse kaugel…
Melik Kuru (1989) on Istanbulis sündinud Türgi stsenarist ja režissöör. Ta omandas meedia- ja visuaalkunstide bakalaureusekraadi Koçi ülikoolis ning kolis 2016. aastal New Yorki, et jätkata õpinguid Columbia ülikoolis. Varasemalt on ta loonud lühifilmid „Kids” (2019) ja „We Are a Family” (2020).
Oma esimeses täispikas filmis „Nimeta loomingu kalmistu” vaatleb Kuru kunstimaailma läbi satiiri ja teravmeelse huumori, pilgates installatsioone, performance’eid ja näituseid, kus kuraatorid kasutavad ChatGPT-d, et targemad näida. Filmi keskmes on Manolya Maya, kellel pole varasemat näitlemise tausta, kuid on töötanud režissööri assistendina. Kirsiks tordil ilmub Kuru ka ise ekraanile kahes radikaalselt erinevas, kuid väga naljakas cameo-rollis.
