Maybe a Movie Comes to Town
December 2021 – December 2022
BİTLİS
Aiming to provide a cinema experience to children who cannot reach the cinema Maybe a Movie Comes to Town project, targets to reach the children living in the villages of Bitlis and studying at the boarding schools in the region. The animated movie Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen, will be screened in village schools and in village squares in the summer months to reach larger audiences where families can also participate.
The movie Inside Out, which will be screened throughout the project, wanders inside the mind of its protagonist, Riley, and tells a story about the way we deal with problems in our inner world. Riley has five basic emotions in her mind: joy, sadness, fear, anger and disgust. Also, Riley has "core memories", which are joyful memories that represent important times in her life. Each core memory strengthens Riley's personality and makes her an individual at peace with her environment.
In this sense, the Maybe a Movie Comes to Town project aims to create a "core moment" as in the movie, while opening a small window for children to get to know themselves. After the movie screenings, the project aims to direct children to active participation with group activities prepared under the supervision of clinical psychologist Nuray Yılmaz, and makes their experiences more enjoyable through games. Maybe a Movie Comes to Town is a long-term project, not only serving as a cinema project for children, but also the whole screenings will be filmed for a short documentary film to be made.
