ONUN FİLMİ (HER FIRST), 2018
Turkey | DCP, Color, 80’ | Turkish
Director: Su Baloğlu, Merve Bozcu

Merve and Su, two young women who have earned their master’s degree in film studies and are considering pursuing an academic career, decide to make a documentary of their research, which had started out as a book project. Through interviews with experienced female directors, they seek answers to the question “What does it mean to be a woman in the film industry in Turkey?” Her First is also the first film the two young women directed, and they have not forgotten to document their own experiences throughout the filming process. The result is a “documentary within a documentary” that is as personal and sincere as it is interesting.
