Plot summary
Aus der Ferne is a personal travelogue, a documentary about a trip through Turkey. Thomas Arslan, who filmed the journey himself, undertook the trip in May/June 2005. The route takes him through Istanbul and Ankara to Gaziantep in the southeastern part of the country, from there further eastwards via Diyarbakir and Van to Dogubayazit near the Iranian border. The film describes moments during the journey that differ from the usual motifs that inform the image of present-day Turkey – from impressions of day-to-day life in such Western cities as Istanbul and Ankara all the way to regions in the country’s easternmost territory that were locked in battle until recently.

"AUS DER FERNE is a documentary film about a journey through Turkey, which Thomas Arslan undertook in May and June 2005. The route leads via Istanbul and Ankara to the southeast of the country to Gaziantep, from there further east via Diyarbakir and Van to Dogubayazit near the Iranian border. The film shows moments of this journey away from the common motifs of today's Turkey: impressions of everyday life in western cities like Istanbul and Ankara, but also from the recently embattled regions in the east of the country. AUS DER FERNE is not a journalistic reportage, but reflects the filmmaker's personal view of this country."

Amateur, tasteless and with a clear focus on poor, young schoolchildren and Kurdish population. Don't waste your time.
