Abstract
Aysun Bademsoy is a second-generation Turkish-German documentary filmmaker living and working in Berlin. Over the past two decades, Bademsoy has produced several documentary films portraying the experiences of Turkish labour migrants in Germany and Turkey. Having worked with a cohort of politically engaged filmmakers such as Harun Farocki, Hartmut Bitomsky and Christian Petzold, Bademsoy’s aesthetic and thematic strategies distinguish her work from the corpus of Turkish-German fiction cinema and ethnographic documentaries. Her most recent film Ehre/Honour (2011) investigates honour crimes that are prevalent in mainly Muslim migrant communities in Germany. Contrary to a majority of documentary work dealing with the subject, Bademsoy turns her camera to the male members of society and looks at patriarchal institutional practices within Germany. This interview was conducted in March 2013 in Berlin, wherein Bademsoy talks about her documentary work and why she made a film about honour crime.
