‘I wouldn’t quit, if the world turned upside down’ is the 4th. film of my project series titled as Restore Hope. In this project I am working with people, who are getting stuck in their life and have no future.
I have made also another film related to the glue sniffers, titled as ‘Competing with genies’ in 2006
Competing with Genies, 2006, Charlattenborg Pro, Copenhagen
These two film deals with my work with teenager boys being treated for drug abuse (glue sniffing) at Bakirkoy Mental Clinic. A initiated a collaborative work process with these boys. The camera would sometimes be in their hands, sometimes in theirs. Mostly they asked the questions amongst themselves. They did a bir of journalism, a bit of role playing and acting. My own role wasnt quite defined ; I was a bit of mother, a bit of sister, maybe a bit of a friend, but i think, most importantly, a person who tried to create a third language with them on the basis of these drawings made by them. Boys who chose to live squeezed inbetween reality and dreams.
