Golden Horn Bridge

"I walked towards the Golden Horn Bridge. Men were scratching their crotches on the street again, as before. The ferries next to the bridge were shining in the sun. The long shadows of the people walking on the Golden Horn Bridge fell on the ferries from both sides and moved along their white bodies. Sometimes a stray dog or And the shadow of a donkey was hitting there, black on white." 'Emine' Sevgi Özdamar is building the longest bridge in the world, swinging between Germany and Turkey and shuttling across the abyss of cultures; Golden Horn Bridge. It describes contradictions, similarities, gaps and fluctuations. It connects Istanbul and Hakkari, wonaym and the factory, Cinematheque and the Workers' Party, and makes us share in its journey by combining its poetic language full of images with the simplicity of the street.

It depicts art, politics, exploitation, young people, workers, and orators on the bridge of the sixties. As he moves forward with the Alamanci and revolutionaries, he strives to increase the meanings of love, equality and longing. Trying to stay standing on a constantly shaking bridge...
