Abdurrahman Keskiner is one of the big guns of Turkish cinema. In Türkiye's national productions' history, his working method distinguishes him as a producer from the rest. Even though it may seem contradictory at first glance, he never gives up on investing in subtlety. Other producers have not pursued the same hope over and over and invested all of their earnings in shooting films ambitiously after making a loss. Yet, Abdurrahman Keskiner was an exception to this. He took great strides in promoting Türkiye's cinema to the world.

Art in the Public Eye: The Making of Dark Star Park

This piece documents the process behind the creation of Holt's major public art installation, Dark Star Park, in Arlington, Virginia. The park, which features giant concrete spheres and pipes, allows the visitor to reconsider the experience of space, earth and sky within an urban context. It also serves as a kind of contemporary Stonehenge: once a year, on August 1 at 9:30 am, the shadows of the objects exactly align with outlines on the ground. Interviews with the artist, the architects, engineers, contractors, and the public, among others, reveal Dark Star Park as both a public sculpture and a functioning park that reclaims a blighted urban environment.
