The official website for Tan Tolga Demirci's Gomeda is now functional; on that site are a stills gallery and downloadable trailer for the movie. Kenda Film Dagitim ve Pazarlama A.S. is scheduled to release the movie theatrically in Turkey tomorrow (February 23rd).
As was previously reported here on Twitch, the screenplay for Gomeda was written by Demirci. The movie stars Feride Çetin as Ebru, Bahar Yanilmaz as Didem, Bulut Köpük as Sibel, Halim Ercan as Cagan, and Serkan Altunorak as Tolga (note: all names are written in ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1)).
Here's a synopsis for Gomeda from the production: "Five friends in their twenties - three female and two male - take a road trip to visit the caves in the Gomeda Valley. Little do they know that these caves are still haunted by memories of torture that took place there in the past. As they get closer, one by one their dreams turn into nightmares, their nightmares turn into hallucinations, and their hallucinations turn into reality, until the line between real and surreal exists no more. The valley begins to resemble a mother's womb, and the caves begin to resemble the umbilical cord between a mother and her unborn child. The memories of torture give way to the ever-haunting presence of guilt and regret that could only be felt by a mother."

This is an AMAZING new Turkish thriller/surrealist film. I saw it this weekend and it is completely fresh and new for Turkish as well as world cinema. Already in one weekend it has created such contrasting opinions that internet sites are full of lovers and haters of this film commenting and pointing fingers at each other.
The imagery, the story, the scenes, the music, everything is beautiful. Thank you Tan Tolga Demirci.
