Şirinler'in köyünde internet bağlantısı zayıf mı?

Bugün Dünya Şirinler Günü olmasına ve The Smurfs filminin gösterimine bir ay kalmasına karşın, Şirinler’in sosyal medya yolculuğu pek de gösterişli gözükmüyor..

Komunizm çöktü. Ama Şirinler’in komunal hayat modeli sapasağlam işlemeye devam ediyor. Şirinler’in ‘köyden indim New York’a’ macerasını anlatan The Smurfs filmi bir ay sonra sinemalarda. 80’lerde küçük TV ekranından izlediğimiz Şirinler’i 30 yıl sonra 3 boyutlu izleyeceğiz.

Bugün ise Şirinler için önemli bir gün: Dünya Şirinler Günü. Bu özel günde sevdiğimiz Şirin’e hediye almaktan başka ne yapabiliriz bilemiyoruz ama hiç olmazsa küçük mavi yaratıkların sosyal medyada neler yaptığına bir bakalım.

Filmin Facebook sayfası henüz ciddi bir atağa geçmiş durumda değil. 50 bin hayranı olan sayfadan farklı ülkelerin filmle ilgili kendi dillerindeki sayfalarına gidebiliyorsunuz. Buradaki 10 ülkeden birisi de Türkiye, ama henüz sayfanın 25 hayranı var. Filmden bağımsız Türkçe Şirinler Facebook sayfaları da var. Bunlardan birisinin duvarı Şirinler’in politik kimliği ve sembolize ettiği şeylere odaklanıyor. 50 yıldır komunizmi övdüğü iddia edilen Şirinler’in bu sayfada ilginç bir şekilde “emperyalist amerikayı temsil” ettiği savunulmuş.

Istanbul becoming proud of Pride Week


Turkey’s LGBT communities and their supporters will be flying the rainbow flag high as Istanbul’s 19th Pride Week kicks off Monday. A week of events will be capped by next week’s Pride Parade, during which thousands will march against discrimination. The Hürriyet Daily News talks to event organizer Rüzgar Gökçe Gözüm about the week’s history


It’s that time of the year for many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, people to put on their high heels, get their rainbow flags out of the closet and strut their stuff on the street to Lady Gaga’s anthem on acceptance, Born This Way. June is Pride Month in many countries as LGBT communities the world hold events in time with the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots that kick-started the gay rights movement in the United States.

While the colorful, often stereotyped, and mostly marginalized photos of Pride parades around the world are splashed over the pages of newspapers in Turkey, not much is seen or read about the country’s very own Pride Week, which began nearly two decades ago and returns this year on Monday.

The very first Pride Week goes back to 1993 when the organization of the events opened the way for the establishment of lambdaistanbul, the biggest LGBT organization in Turkey.

As the movie season draws to a close, occasional film festivals and screenings are popping up to offer unexpected treats to movie enthusiasts. Istanbul Modern Cinema and the Goethe-Institute Istanbul are collaborating for a mini-festival of recent, award-winning German films. The selection of 10 films will be screened under the title Till Death Do Us Part and will run June 9-19. Here is a look at five of the award winners from new directors, with offerings running the gamut from bizarre coming-of-age tales to heartbreaking love stories and chilling mysteries.

The festival will open on June 9 with Sophie Heldman’s debut feature Satte Farben vor Schwarz (Colors in the Dark). The film, which wowed audiences and critics at last year’s San Sebastian International Film Festival, stars Bruno Ganz and Anita Berger as a couple in their 70s who have been together for half a century. The film, following the final days of Fred’s life as the couple try to deal with his terminal illness, takes a uniquely fresh approach to the themes of love and death.
