Hello, I'm Hande.
I was born on June 13, 1996, in Konya. Following the discovery of my interest in cinema and art during high school, I embarked on my academic and practical journey in this field. In 2015, I began my undergraduate studies in the Department of Film Design and Directing at Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Fine Arts to deepen and enhance my education. I successfully completed my undergraduate education in 2020. While continuing my university education, I completed my internship as an assistant art director in the series "Sevda Kuşun Kanadında" broadcast on TRT 1 with the contributions of Sonart Medya.
During my undergraduate years, my fictional short film "AHLEM" which explored themes such as refugees, immigrants, collective memory, language, and culture, was featured in a special screening at the "Alternatif Kısa 16" event organized by "İzmir – Institut Français de Turquie" in collaboration with otuzbeslik.com and the "1st İzmir International Refugee Film Festival."
Building on my practical experiences in cinema, I contributed to three book chapters: "Child in Cinema: My Daughter and Me and Bicycle Thieves Films" in the book "Analyses on Cinema Society Relations," "Actors of Political Communication" in the book "Theoretical Discussions on Political Communication," and "The Position of Being an Individual in Kierkegaard's Philosophy: Boulogne Forest Women, The Diary of the Provincial Priest, and The Passion of Joan of Arc Films" in the book "Cinema and Philosophy."
I try to keep my knowledge both in the field and in the academic field fresh through social media with our start-up instagram profile called CineBien, where we make film solutions in the fields of cinema, aesthetics, art, philosophy, sociology, history and psychology together with Zerdeşt Yalçın.
In addition to these book chapters, I continued my development through a peer-reviewed article titled "Child of Time-Image in Bresson's Cinema: Mouchette" in the TÜMADER journal. While maintaining my theoretical and academic interest in cinema, I have been actively involved in a creative advertising agency for over a year, working on creative content production, social media management, creative writing, creative screenplay writing, and Blender-based 3D modeling.
Believing that communication shapes life through the magical and precise use of words, I have aimed to express my creativity without restraint in my works, ensuring that inspiration reaches the right place with accurate communication and messages.Every word is powerful, but when the right word is in the right place, it is flawless.
I cannot go without expressing my gratitude to Zerdeşt Yalçın, who transformed my magical texts into captivating cinematic videos.
Now, let's take a look at my works!
