About Rus Gelin
The world champion archer, who comes from Moldova, one of the poorest countries in the Eastern Bloc, wants to compete on behalf of Turkey. To do so, she must be married to a Turkish man. The federation president intervenes and decides to arrange a formal marriage. For this purpose, a former wrestler is persuaded to be the groom. After the comical marriage, events will take a rather amusing turn. Zeki Alasya, who directed the film, once again appears on screen with Metin Akpınar, effectively responding to speculation that they are estranged.
Directed by Zeki Alasya, Rus Gelin leans on a strong ensemble — Metin Akpınar, Zeki Alasya, Şafak Sezer — 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 2003.

6.1Vizontele Tuuba
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.
