CCC - Interview Can Evrenol (NIFFF 24)

Current Cinematic Conundrums (CCC): An Interview with Can Evrenol –
From Baskin to Sayara and Turkish Nightmares

In this special CCC episode of the Art or Trash Cinema Podcast,
Flo sits down with Turkish filmmaker Can Evrenol, known for cult
genre hits like Baskin, Housewife, and his latest film Sayara
(fresh off the NIFFF 2024 lineup).


They dive deep into:




Can’s unique blend of horror, surrealism, and social
commentary




️ The reality of making genre films in Turkey




His love for both arthouse cinema and pure genre mayhem




The conversation touches on influential films like Takashi
Miike’s Audition (1999), the gritty Turkish gem Somersault in a
Coffin (1996), VHS-style action with Death Warrior (1984), and
the haunting slow-burn Ivy (2015) by Tolga Karaçelik.


What inspires a filmmaker to dive into Turkey’s collective
subconscious? How do repression, myth, and chaos become cinematic
language? And what the hell is Sayara, anyway?


This one's for the horror heads, arthouse lovers, and fans of
international cinema that bites back.
