About Recep the Stool Emperor
Recep, during his first visit to Istanbul, accidentally entered the film industry and made several movies. However, when image creators put him in ridiculous situations, he abandoned everything and returned to his village. On his second visit to Istanbul, he started a small stool manufacturing workshop. Over time, his business prospered, and he became a stool manufacturer. Married and a father of three, Recep changed his original surname, İbibik, to Oturakgil(Stoolson). However, this time, the stool business became a source of trouble for him.
Directed by Oguz Gözen, Recep the Stool Emperor leans on a strong ensemble — Recep Bülbülses, Deniz Uğur, Incilay Özdemir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2009.

2004 6.1
Guner Sernikli is a government official who, with his wife and their wheelchair bound daughter, has been assigned as the head librarian to this isolated province, virtually an exile since there is no library in the village. The family is warmly welcome, but these are the years of political anarchy and leftist/rightist clashes in big cities and the youth of the village inevitably follow the tides. They arrive in Vizontele, just as the situation is becoming really absurd. Guner brings wisdom; his daughter Tuba brings beauty, innocence and love. Some like the Mayor, Nazmi Dogan and crazy Emin appreciate these things but they are in the minority and confusion continues to reign. The story is based on the memories of writer-director Yılmaz Erdoğan of the last summer of his childhood in Hakkâri, Turkey in 1980.
