MFAH Films presents 'Uc Maymun/ Three Monkeys' directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2008
"Winner of the best director prize at Cannes, Three Monkeys tells a twisty, noirish tale that opens with an ambitious politician fleeing a hit-and-run accident. Afraid of hurting his election chances, he pays off his chauffeur Eyüp to take the rap. The film concerns the effects of this devil’s bargain on Eyüp’s family as simmering tensions and sexual intrigue wreak havoc in a household already haunted by hidden ghosts. In the spirit of Luis Buñuel’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Michael Haneke’s Caché, Three Monkeys mounts a caustic critique of the bourgeois family, riddled with hypocrisy yet stubbornly resilient in its seemingly boundless capacity to sidestep guilt and accountability.” Photographer/filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Distant; Climates) is a leading figure in contemporary world cinema and known for his long takes and exquisite compositions.www.zeitgeistfilms.com/3monkeys
Film screening will be at MFAH, July 17&July 18, 7:00pm and July 19, 5:00pm. For more information call 713-639-7515, visit www.mfah.org/films or e-mail nuray@atahouston.org General admission is $7. ATA-Houston members receive a $1 discount.

Nehir Bayazit, daughter of dear colleagues Mahmut Bayazit (Sabanci University) and Zeynep Erden Bayazit (Istanbul Technical University), and sister of Leyla, has just turned two in March 12, 2009.
In November 2008, Nehir has been diagnosed with stage IV, high risk Neuroblastoma, a cancer of sympathetic nervous system. Neuroblastoma is very rare. Because it is rare, treatment options are limited and funding for these cutting edge treatments does not flow freely from large non-profit organizations. We ask that you join us and help Raise the Funds needed to save Nehir. We can't do it without your help. We also would like to invite you to follow this journey, to track the ups and downs at http://nehir-im.blogspot.com/.
