Research of Berna Gueneli

Book cover of Berna Guenli's book Faith Akin's Cinema

Berna Gueneli. Fatih Akin's Cinema and the New Sound of Europe. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2019.  This book explores the transnational works of acclaimed Turkish-German filmmaker and auteur Fatih Akın. The first minority director in Germany to receive numerous national and international awards, Akın makes films that are informed by Europe's past, provide cinematic imaginations about its present and future, and engage with public discourses on minorities and migration in Europe through his treatment and representation of a diverse, multi-ethnic, and multilingual European citizenry.
