4 4 AJANDA DQ D J TAL fiarap DIGITAL WINE AZ Z TR FON GÜNÜ SAINT TRIFON S DAY To honour the patron saint of wine, Bulgaria has been celebrating St Trifon's Day on 1 February since Thracian times, when wine makers used to salute Saint Trifon with a ritualistic pruning of the wine ceremony. Nowadays, the same pruning ceremony takes place on St. Trifon's Day in vineyard villages across the country. Women bake bread and roast chicken in preparation for a post-pruning feast. The festival involves, as you would imagine, a lot of eating and even more drinking. In fact, the lucky man deemed to have grown the most grapes that year is crowned King, and he and his subjects are ordered to get drunk to ensure a plentiful harvest the following year. Many people celebrate St. Trifon's Day as an alternative to St. Valentine's Day, on 14 February. Eski ça lardan beri her sene fiubat ay nda, Bulgaristan n dört bir yan nda, flarap üretimi yap lan kasabalarda, flarab n koruyucu azizi Aziz Trifon un onuruna flenlikler düzenleniyor.

As global warming becomes one of the greatest threats facing civilization, airlines around the world are coming up with the most innovative ways to utilize the technology and design in a way that their service becomes eco-friendly without compromising passenger comfort. After all, airplanes are one of the highest contributors to global warming, their combined emissions accounting for approximately 1.6% of all harmful gases that go toward creating the greenhouse effect in our environment. But new measures are being promoted. For example, the European Union is preparing to impose a pollution tax from 2012 onwards. Airlines are also taking their own precautions. Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is trying to reduce taxiing time on the ground before and after flights, while also making sure its airplanes fly slower when in the air. That means 5,000 tons of fuel conserved every hour, which of course reduces the emission of carbondioxide into the atmosphere. British Airways offers passengers the opportunity to know how much the emission rate is in relation to the cost of the trip, with a chance to donate money to the International Climate Protection Fund. Another option that airlines have been considering is working on alternative fuels to reduce pollution resulting from their flights. Virgin Havayollar has already done this quite successfully. The American airlines Continental has also commissioned new planes that use less fuel.

15 DQ 26 RÖPORTAJ-INTERVIEW Karamel tad nda Bir stanbul Masal ve fiöhret dizileriyle y ld z parlayan Ahu Türkpençe flimdi de Karamel'le ekranlarda. Genç oyuncuyla kariyeri ve gelecek planlar üzerine konufltuk. O yunculuk kariyeriniz nas l bafllad? Y ld z Teknik Üniversitesi Fizik bölümü üçüncü s n ftayd m. Ayn dönem amatörce pandomim tiyatrosu yap yordum. Giderek en mutlu oldu um yerin sahne oldu unu fark ettim. Daha sonra bir pandomim toplulu u onlara kat lmam teklif etti ve ben sahnede daha çok zaman geçirmeye bafllad m. Tam da o s ralarda bir arkadafl m MSM nin konservatuar bölümüne haz rlan yordu, bana da s nava girmem için ön ayak oldu. Yetenek s nav ndan bir gün önce kay t yapt rd m, asl nda pek de umudum yoktu. Muhtemelen kazanamam ama sonraki sene çok çal fl p tekrar girerim s nava diyordum kendi kendime. S navlar üç gün sürdü ve ben hiç beklemedi im bir flekilde elemeleri geçtim, okulda okumaya hak kazand m. Benim için çok mutlu bir gündü. Tabii ki okulumun bana katk s çok fazla. Sadece oyunculuk ad na de- il, 'insan olma' ad na da çok fley ö rendim orada. Ö renmenin yafl yok; hala ö renmeye ve bunlar hayata geçirmeye çal fl yorum. Profesyonel oyunculukla iliflkim tiyatronun ikinci senesinde bafllad. Zaten ilk y l ifl yapmak yasakt. kinci senemde bir yandan MSM ye gidiyor bir yandan da 'Güzel Günler' diye bir dizide ve 'Dur Bakal m Nolcak' adl bir oyunda oynuyordum. 27 Like Caramel Ahu Türkpençe is the rising young Turkish soap opera star of such popular series as Bir stanbul Masal (A Tale of Istanbul) and fiöhret (Fame). She now hits the screen with a brand new series called Karamel (Caramel). We talked to the young actress about her career and her plans for the future. H ow did your acting career get started? I was in my third year at Y ld z Technical University s physics department. I was also doing some amateur pantomime on the side. I realized that I was the happiest on stage. Then a pantomime company asked me to join them, which led to my spending more and more time on stage. Around just that time a friend of mine was prepping for the MSM conservatory department, and that inspired me to give the exam a try too. I thought I wouldn t win but would at least gain a little experience and make a second go at it the following year. The exams lasted three days and to my surprise I passed. It was a very happy day for me. Of course I owe a lot to my schooling, not just in terms of becoming an actress but also in how it helped me develop as a human being. There s no age to learning; I still try and learn as much as I can. My professional acting career started in the second year of theater. It s generally forbidden to do any professional work in your first year anyway. But in my second year I was going to MSM while also acting in a series called Güzel Günler (Great Days) and a play called Dur Bakal m Nolcak (Let s See What Happens). Let s talk about what you re doing now: first a film then a new TV series... are there any other projects going on? Not for now, but we ll be filming a new movie for the summer. What kind of experience was it for you to act in the film Dinle Neyden? The protagonist of the film is actually the philosophy and teachings of the famous Sufi poet and philosopher, Mevlana Jellaleddin Rumi. That s why it s a very naive film. We all tried to bring this philosophy to the fore in our filming, our team interaction and in the development of the story. I think that it was a well-executed

16 çime sinen hikayeleri, çok iyi yönetmenler ve oyuncularla beraber çal flma f rsat m oldu. 28 fiu anki program n zdan bahsedelim, önce bir sinema filmi ard ndan yeni bir dizi Baflka bir proje var m? fiu an için yok, ama yaza yeni bir sinema filmi çekece iz. Dinle Ney den filmi nas l bir deneyimdi, bu filmden sizin pay - n za ne kald? Filmin baflrolünde Mevlana n n ö retileri ve felsefesi var, bu yüzden de çok naif bir film. Hem hikayesiyle, hem çekimleriyle, hem de oyunculuklar yla bu felsefeyi destekleyip ortaya ç karmaya çal flt k. San r m kendi üslubunda do ru kotar lm fl bir film oldu, tabii kendi oyunculu umla ilgili yorum yapam yorum, onu seyirciye ve elefltirmenlerimize b rakmak en do rusu. Dinle Neyden'de çal flmak benim için büyük bir keyifti. Bu filmin bir parças oldu um için ve yönetmenimiz Jacques Deschamps'la tan fl p, çal flt m için çok mutluyum. Ondan çok fley ö rendim. Dizi tekliflerini de erlendirirken neleri önemsiyorsunuz? Senaryo tabiî ki ilk s rada geliyor. E er hikaye beni merakland r - yorsa ve rolü canland rmak için heyecan duyuyorsam daha ne isterim. Elbette ki yönetmen ve di er oyuncular da çok önemli. film within its own parameters. I won t comment on my own performance, I ll leave that to the viewers and the critics. I m very happy to have taken part in the project, and I have director Jacques Deschamps to thank for that. I learnt a lot from him. What do you give importance to when you re considering acting in a TV series? The screenplay, obviously. If I like the story and the role set out for me is exciting and interesting, then I ll take the part. Of course, the director and the other actors are also important. Sometimes you accept jobs just to work with a certain director or certain actors. I m very lucky because for me all three factors came hand in hand. I loved the stories, the directors were excellent, and I got the chance to work with great actors. You took a year off between TV series. Are you afraid that your popularity will wain if you take such long sabbaticals? No, not at all. The reason I didn t act in a TV series for one and a half years was that I was trying to pick the jobs that suited me. In other words, I was being selective. As you know, TV series last about one or two years if they become popular. When you work this long on a single project, it s only natural that I expect a great director and a great cast of actors whom I d be happy to work with for an extended period of time. But if I wanted to act in series just to earn money, then I d probably be miserable. That s why I waited so long after I finished fiöhret I basically waited until a great project like Karamel came along. That s why I feel good about it. We ll see if people like the new series, but whatever the result, the new series will always be special for me. Your new series Karamel was adapted from a movie, and you were the one to get the ball rolling on the project. Will you tell us a little about the story? I was amazed at the warmth and sincerity of the film, and that s why I suggested it as a starting point for the producers. In the film there were multiple meeting points and more than one women who were hairdressers, and they all had separate stories. The stories were very realistic and fun. Our producer liked it too, so the writing team got together and wrote a screenplay. Of course, there are a lot of differences between the film and the series. For example, our writer didn t just limit the stories and characters to hairdressers but decided to spread them out to embrace a whole neighborhood spectrum. That way you could tell not just women s stories but also men s. There were also different love relationships which weren t in the film. At the end of it all, there s a TV series which is independent of the film, even though it s been inspired by it. But the series, like the film, gives that same feeling of warmth and sincerity. Can you tell us a little about the Zehra character on Karamel? Zehra has a lot of shortcomings and weaknesses like everyone else, but she s also very well-meaning and is trying to find the right path for herself in life. Like us, she s someone trying to be the best she can be and lead the best life she can lead. There s a lot of loneliness inside

17 30 Kimi zaman s rf o yönetmenle çal flmak istedi iniz için ya da o oyuncuyla karfl l kl oynamak istedi iniz için kabul etti iniz ifller de oluyor. Ben çok flansl y m ki hep üçü de bir arada oldu bende. çime sinen hikayeleri, çok iyi yönetmenler ve oyuncularla beraber çal flma f rsat m oldu. ki dizi aras nda bir y ldan fazla ara verdiniz. Bu tür uzun ayr l klarda popülaritenizi yitirece inize dair korkular n z olmuyor mu? Hay r olmuyor. 1,5 y ld r dizi çekmememin sebebi, do ru ifl seçmeye çal flt mdand. Bildi iniz gibi genelde diziler e er seyirci severse bir ya da iki y l sürüyor. Bu kadar uzun bir süre çal flmak söz konusu olunca da içinde bulunmaktan gurur duyaca m bir ekip, oynamas e lenceli bir hikaye ve iyi bir yönetmen istemek en mant kl s. Aksi takdirde sadece para kazanmak için bir dizide oyunculuk yapmak beni mutsuz eder, zaten yapmam da. fiöhret dizisinden sonra bu kadar beklememin sebebi de buydu; Karamel'deki gibi güzel bir ekip ve samimi bir hikaye gelene kadar bekledim. O yüzden de içim çok rahat. Karamel i seyircinin sevip sevmeyece ini zaman gösterecek. Ama sonuç ne olursa olsun benim için Karamel dizisi hep çok özel olacak. Yeni diziniz Karamel bir filmden uyarland ve ilk k v lc m yakan siz oldunuz. Projenin hikayesini biraz anlat r m s n z? Ben filmin dokusuna, s cakl na ve samimiyetine hayran kalm flt m, bu yüzden yap mc ya ç k fl noktas olarak bu filmi önermifltim. Filmde bir flekilde buluflma mekanlar kuaför olan birden fazla kad n ve onlar n ayr ayr hikayeleri vard. Hikayeler çok gerçek ve bir o kadar da e lenceliydi. Yap mc m z n da akl na yatt, senaryo grubunu toplay p çal flmaya bafllad lar. Dedi im gibi ç k fl noktam z bu oldu, ama tabi ki filmle dizi aras nda büyük farklar var, mesela yazarlar m z özellikle kuaförle s n rl kalmay p hikayeleri mahalleye yaymay tercih etti. Böylece sadece kad nlar n de il erkeklerin hikayeleri de devreye girdi,. Daha da keyifli bir hale geldi. Yine filmde olmayan bambaflka bir aflk kurgulad - lar. Çal flmalar n n sonunda da filmden ba ms z yepyeni ve canl bir hikaye yaratt lar. Ama samimiyeti ve s cakl sabit kald. Karamel in Zehra s ndan biraz bahseder misiniz? Zehra da herkes gibi, zaaflar ve hatalar olan, ama bir o kadar da iyi niyetli ve do ruyu bulmaya çal flan, ayn bizim gibi hayata tutunmak için mücadele eden bir kad n. çinde koca bir yaln zl k tafl yan ama yine de umutlu ve etrafa nefle saçan, biraz cilveli, bolca gözü kara, sözünü sak nmayan bir karakter. Üç baflrolünüzde üç bambaflka karakter canland r yorsunuz. Bir adaptasyon sorunu yafl yor musunuz? Her seferinde farkl bir karakter canland rmak tüm oyuncular n ortak arzusudur. Ama ne yaz k ki her zaman farkl alternatifler olmayabiliyor. Bence bu yüzden birbirine yak n roller icra etmek zorunda kal yor birçok oyuncu. Bana gelince ben elimden geldi ince flartlar m zorlamaya, gerekirse beklemeye çal fl yorum. Yine de flöyle bir güzelli i var mesle imizin, her ne kadar birbirine yak n bile dursa roller, onu farkl oynamak oyuncunun elinde. Tabii yönetmenin izni dahilinde. Bu yüzden kendimi flansl görüyorum ve hay r adaptasyon sorunu yaflam yorum. Televizyonda düzenli olarak takip etti iniz bir dizi var m? Avrupa Yakas ve Yaprak Dökümü. Oyunculardan tiyatro, sinema ve televizyon aras nda bir s ralama yapmalar istenir hep. Sizin için aralar nda daha a r basan var m? Hem oyuncuya hissettirdi i duygu anlam nda hem de çal flma flekli anlam nda üçü de birbirinden çok farkl. Ama sinema bana daha büyülü geliyor. stersem saniyesinde kaybolabilece im ya da uçabilece im ya da Matrix misali tek bir hareketle bana do ru gelen kurflunu tutabilece im için san r m. Bu yüzden s ralama yapmam gerekse sinema, tiyatro ve televizyon derim. Beyazperdede özel olarak çal flmak istedi iniz bir yönetmen var m? O kadar çoklar ki hangisini söyleyeyim? Ferzan Özpetek, Reha Erdem, Serdar Akar, Selim Demirdelen, Yüksel Aksu, Cemal fian, Dervifl Zaim, Ümit Ünal, Ezel Akay, Ça an Irmak Böyle saymakla bitmiyorlar. O kadar flansl y z ki giderek daha iyi sinemac lar film yapmaya bafll yor. Biz oyuncular n da çal flmak istedi i yönetmen say s art yor. flin en güzel yan ysa bu sayd - m z isimlerin her birinin bambaflka tarzlar var, o yüzden bir oyuncu olarak her biriyle çal flmak çok önemli benim için. Oyunculu unuzu gelifltirmek için hala çaba harc yor musunuz? Neler yap yorsunuz? Bence mutlaka yurt d fl na gidip oyun seyretmek, workshoplara kat lmak, bol bol meslekle ilgili kitap okumak, yeni teknikler ö renmek ve denemek gerek. Ben zaman buldukça bunlar yapmaya çal fl yorum. Sürekli ö renmek ve denemekten yanay m. Seyahat etmeyi sever misiniz? Türkiye de ve dünyada en çok görmek istedi iniz yerler nereler? klimi s cak olan her yere gidebilirim. Karadeniz turu yapmak çok isterim, yurt d fl ndaysa bir süre talya da yaflamak isterim. her, but she never gives up on trying to spread joy and hope to those around her. She s a little flirtatious, very courageous and also very candid. You played three totally different characters in all three of your series. Do you have trouble adapting to new roles? To be able to play different characters every time is the common desire of all actors. But unfortunately you don t always get all those alternatives. That s why a lot of actors end up getting typecast, having to play the same or very similar kinds of characters. As for me, I try and push my luck and wait till I can land a role that I like and which will be challenging for me. One advantage in this line of work is also that even if you do always land the same kinds of roles, you can always act them out differently and make stylistic variations of course, as long as the director agrees. That s why I find myself to be lucky, and no, I don t have an adaptation problems. Is there a TV series that you watch regularly? Avrupa Yakas (The European Side) and Yaprak Dökümü (Windfall). People always ask actors to list ttheir preferences among theater, film and TV. What are your preferences? All three are very different, both in terms of what they make you feel as an actor and in terms of how you work on each one. But to me cinema seems the most magical. I feel like it s a fantasy world where everything s possible, where, like in the Matrix, if a bullet were to be shot at my face I could snatch it in the air. So, if I were to list them in order of preferance, I d say cinema, theater and then TV. I loved the stories, the directors were excellent, and I got the chance to work with great actors. Is there a director you d like to work with especially on the big screen? There are so many: Ferzan Özpetek, Reha Erdem, Serdar Akar, Selim Demirdelen, Yüksel Aksu, Cemal fian, Dervifl Zaim, Ümit Ünal, Ezel Akay, Ça an Irmak We re so lucky, so many new great directors are making films now, and so there are a lot more directors that we actors would love to work with. The best part about it is that all those names I listed have their own style, and that s why it would be very important for me to work with each and every one of them. Do you still work hard at trying to develop your acting? What do you do? I think it s crucial to go overseas and watch theater there, join workshops, read lots of books on the industry, learn new techniques and always keep practicing. I try to do all these things when I have the time. I m for always learning and always trying my best. Do you like to travel? Where would you like to go, in Turkey or abroad? Any place with a warm climate. I d love to do a tour of the Black Sea region of Turkey. I d also love to live in Italy. 31

The streets of Damascus are more open and vibrant than ever. There s new cafes, restaurants, shopping centers, all of which point to a city that is on its way to finding a new sense of confidence and pride in both its past and its future. Believed to have been first established around six to seven thousand years ago, Damascus is one of the oldest inhabited city s on earth.
