The Domain Theatre at the Art Gallery of NSW weekly screening is the film 'Once Upon a Time in Anatolia' starting at 7:15pm (this is the time the doors shut, so consequently it is safer to arrive earlier). The Theatre seats approximately 150 people, and typically does not fill up for the weekly screenings. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is a Turkish film by one of that countries greatest directors which won the 2011 Cannes Grand Jury Prize. Outlined as being based on a true story, it tells the story of a group of Turkish men searching for a body in the aftermath of an earlier murder which occurred in a small Turkish town in the Anatolian steppes. The writer/director himself lived in a small town such as this within his early directing career and consequently is able to tone of this part of Turkey. The movie considers the elusiveness of the truth, through a meandering observation of the steps involved in locating the body through the assistance of the suspect of the murder.
The Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan is a Cannes favourite having previously one the Grand Jury prize for his film 'Uzak'. This movie is considered a slight change of direction from his previous urbane focused films as he now takes on a broader wilder environment of the steppes. Considered to be one of the best films of the year of its release 2011, the film asks the audience to have empathy with the characters through the Director's masterful understanding of human nature.
