How Did the Amentü Ship Move
In 1972 Tonguç Yaşar, together with the famous art historian Sezer Tansuğ, made How the Boat of Belief Proceeded, a beautiful graphic exercise based on the shapes of the old - and today abandoned - Turkish alphabet. Screened at the Annecy Festival of 1973, this film enjoyed considerable success and influence, and was the one that opened the era of 'personal films' in Turkey.
