PODCAST| Nicolò Comotti interviews Mahmut Fazil Goskun, director of the film Anons.

Mahmut Fazil Goskun talks to FRED about his latest feature, Anons, here in Venice for the Orizzonti official selection.

Anons: May 22nd, 1963. Unhappy with the existing social and political situation in Turkey, a group of military officers has planned a coup d’etat to take down the government in Ankara. Meanwhile in Istanbul, their co-conspirators have undertaken the vital mission of taking over the National Radio station and making a formal announcement about the coup. But nothing goes to plan. Faced with a number of obstacles, including a sudden rainstorm, the absence of the radio station technician, a betrayal, the lack of feedback from Ankara and their own inefficiency, the conspirators scramble to keep their plan on track and announce the success of the coup – that is, if the coup in the capital has taken place at all. Based on actual events and told over the course of a single night, Anons is a wry commentary on Turkey’s uneasy political past – and present. Biting political satire meets subtle comedy in a film that highlights the absurdity of its story without ever being anything less than dead serious.
