Podcast appearances and mentions of Ceyda Torun

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode look to the silver screen to finally answer a big question. Cats or dogs - which are best? In the cat camp, Ellen enlists the help of film critic and author of the definitive book Cats On Film, Anne Billson. They discuss their favourite film felines, from Alien to Catwoman. Ellen also speaks to director Ceyda Torun and cinematographer Charlie Wuppermann, who are the married couple behind Kedi, an acclaimed documentary looking at street cats in Istanbul from the cats' own perspective. And in the canine corner, Mark talks to second generation animal trainer and co-ordinator Teresa Ann Miller about her career and unique upbringing surrounded by some of Hollywood's most famous animals. They discuss Teresa's work on 2014 Hungarian drama White God, which included a memorable and moving scene featuring 200 real dogs, as well as what it's like to grow up with Cujo in your backyard. Mark also speaks to Toby Rose, who is the creator of the Palm Dog - an award given every year to the best dog performance in a film at the Cannes film festival. They discuss why dogs deserve more acclaim and what exactly makes for a Palm Dog-winning performance. Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

For thousands of years, stray cats have roamed the streets of Istanbul, becoming an integral part of the city. Ceyda Torun's extraordinary 2016 documentary, "Kedi," is not just a touching look at the cute and scrappy cats, it's also a beautiful portrait of the people of Istanbul who take care of them. Woven into my discussion of the film is my own experience of losing my beloved cat, Bella, in 2016. I talk about how she taught me to love and impacted my life in profound ways.

Join us on a city-watching tour from Istanbul to Western Australia. Ceyda Torun guides us through her delightful documentary ‘Kedi’, which tells the story of Istanbul from the perspective of its feline fanciers. Plus: ‘Hounds of Love’ writer and director Ben Young explains why he steered away from Australia’s fascination with true crime and we pay tribute zombie-genre pioneer George A Romero.

This week on Animal Instinct, host Celia Kutcher is joined by Ceyda Torun, the director and producer of Kedi, a new documentary film about the hundreds of thousands of Turkish cats that roam the metropolis of Istanbul. Far from being mere strays, these cats live between two worlds, neither wild nor tame, and have become an essential part of the communities that make the city of Istanbul so rich.

The Superheroes' Fountain of Eternal Youth This week all of your questions will be answered. What films did Aidan and Ryan enjoy at the Edinburgh Film Festival? Who is the nicest carjacker? Which Clint Eastwood film is a secret remake of a dodgy ITV sitcom? Support us on Patreon! - https://www.patreon.com/thegeekshow That last one has some context (kind of), as our Film of the Week is Michael Cimino's debut feature "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot". Aside from that it's a plethora of new releases with Bong Joon-Ho's "Okja" from Netflix, Ceyda Torun's "Kedi" from Youtube, and, erm, Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver" from Sony TriStar (come on granddad, get with the new school). After that it's a trip to the beginning of Michael Cimino's career, which it turns out is just a couple of films before the end. #CinemaEclectica #TheGeekShow #Podcast #Preview #Movies #Films #Documentaries #BabyDriver #Kedi #Okja #EIFF #EdinburghInternationFilmFestival #Netflix #Korea #Turkey #ClintEastwood #DirectorsLottery #ThunderbolyAndLightfoot

A conversation with Ceyda Torun, director of Kedi.

A conversation with Ceyda Torun, director of Kedi.

Ceyda Torun's film Kedi is Todd's favorite of 2017 so far. It's a charming but surprisingly weighty documentary following the lives of several Istanbul cats -- some from the streets and others with more comfortable lives. (One even lives near a fish merchant, which seems like a good kitty life.) It's both a movie about cats and a movie about its city, and that made talking to Ceyda a must. She told Todd about why cats are better actors than you'd expect, what makes Istanbul one of her favorite cities, and how she captured all those "cat's eye view" shots.

Carlos will moderate the Q&A with Sutton on Friday night.
