Cem Kaya – filmmaker

“I’m Cem Kaya, director, documentary filmmaker, and the film I have just finished is called „Remake, Remix, Rip-Off“. It’s about the lax copyright laws in Turkey at this time.”

“It then gains this quality where you say ‘yes, it’s fun watching this because it’s different from what the American mainstream dictates’. Why? Because there is no copyright. You are continuously building on what was there before. But if I cannot build on my cultural roots, as an artist, then what can I do?”
