Law Of The Border
''Law of the Border'' ( tr, Hudutların Kanunu) is a 1966 Turkish drama film, written by Yılmaz Güney, and directed by Lütfi Ömer Akad. Themes While the main story is about smuggling and a father Hidir (played by Yilmaz Güney) without a future fighting to give a future to his young son Yusuf (played by Hikmet Olgun), it is as much about the forces that push Hidir and his fellow villagers to smuggle and a telling of the plight of the poor and alienated group of people struggling to survive the only way they ever knew, from father to son. Faith Akin states that "''Hudutların Kanunu'' underlines the importance of education, which is the crucial element of socio-economical progress in third world countries." This is the main message of the movie, to have the options to educate and to make a life is as important as hard work, that without a chance, people stagnate, even great people. Hidir is the symbol of that stagnation while his son shows hope of the future, a way out o ...

''Umut'' is a 1970 Turkish drama film, written and directed by Yılmaz Güney and Şerif Gören, featuring Güney as an illiterate horse cab driver, who, after losing one of his horses in an accident, sets out into the desert in a quest for a mythical lost treasure. The film, which wasn't released at the time because of a ban by the Film Control Commission in Turkey, won awards at the 2nd Adana Golden Boll Film Festival, the 7th Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival and was screened at the 23rd Cannes Film Festival. Overview Filming of ''Umut'' began in April 1970 in Çukurova, Turkey following the director's return from military service. Güney wanted ''Umut'' to be a film showing the defects and contradictions of a reality without any actualization of a revolution and the illness of the socio-economic system of its time. ''Umut'' has a reputation for being the archetype of the revolutionist cinema and neo-realismo stream in Turkey. The film has been compared to films of Roberto ...
