Feyzullah Yıldırım and Mehmet Hatman mirror the disappeared people in custodies and extra-judicial executions by taking a documentary film entitled '4653...'

The documantary film made by Gelincik Production starts with the murder of Vedat Aydın, old President of Istanbul Office of the Human Rights Association (IHD) and was killed by unknown people in 1999 and takes in hand extra-judicial executions and disappeared people in custodies. 70 minute-lasting movie refreshes our memories by displaying an era of murders, governments and screening forgotten views of these days.

'Dark period is being opened part away'

Film was edited by what the relatives and close friends of the people who became the sacrifice of unknown murders or disappeared in custodies from 1991 to 2003 tell. The '4653...' some time gives place to animation and is backed with an interview with Abdulkadir Aygan, a confitent of Turkish Gendarmerie Intelligence Service (JITEM), telling the executions he participated in addition to how unknown murders are committed. Music bears The Koma Amed's signature (a well-known musical group singing in several languages like Turkish, Kurdish, Armenia, Arabic, Syriac etc) and covers the activities or Saturday Mothers.

Feyzullah Yıldırım, one of two directors, told why they named film '4653...' as such: ''Because we determined the number of those had been disappeared in custodies or murdered by unknown persons from 1991 to 2003 as approximately 4653, we entitled the film so, but since the real count is higher we put ellipsis at the end." Pointing out some victims were kidnapped from their houses, some from their business places, some form streets, and some from the busiest locations of cities where security forces take highly densely serious precautions and were extra-executed, Yıldırm said: " Most of the victims were Turkish citizens of Kurdish stock and we tried to mirror how those people were kidnapped and extra-executed and as well as how the murders were committed."

Mehmet Hatman, other editor, stating they made use of DIHA's visual archieve said: "We strove to project real dimensions of the incidents with expressions of the outlawed gang's founder. Our aim is to bring forgotten disappeared people and unknown murders to mind again."

'4653...' is expected to be featured next days in festival at home and abroad.
