Berkay Ates – Actor – Frenzy (Abluka)

FRED’s Matt Micucci interviews actor Berkay Ates, actor of the film FRENZY (Abluka) from the main competition of the 72nd VENICE FILM FESTIVAL. Berkay talks about his character as well as how deeply a dog affects the life of his character, how he got involved in the project and how he collaborated in the project to achieve his final performance.

FRENZY (Abluka): Istanbul is in the grip of political violence. Hamza, a high-ranking police officer offers Kadir a conditional release from prison. To be released he has to accept to work in the new intelligence unit of garbage collectors. Kadir accepts, and starts collecting trash from the shanty towns, checking to see whether it contains material related to bomb-making. Kadir finds his younger brother Ahmet in one of those neighborhoods. Ahmet works at the municipality as part of a team responsible for destroying stray dogs. Ahmet’s unwillingness to bond with Kadir as brothers, in spite of Kadir’s insistance, leads Kadir to plot conspiracy theories to explain Ahmet’s distance.
