Turning
A film by Diane Cilento, 1973. Beshara Publications 2007.
This film traces the evolution of spirituality in Anatolia from the 10,000-year old wall paintings of Çatal Hoyuk and mysterious Hittite carvings, through the images of Diana of the Helenistic and Roman periods, to the Virgin Mary, who is believed to have spent her last days at Meryemana above the ancient city of Ephesus. From there it becomes an introduction to Jelaluddin Rumi, in the evocative imagery of the sema' of the Mevlevi dervishes. This production was made using the best available copy of the original. It is a precious record of an outstanding independent film, which preserves the freshness of the sema' in Konya in the early 1970s, and conveys the stunning narrative voices of Diane Cilento and Bulent Rauf.
