Maître Galip

Before he turned to feature filmmaking in 1968 with Naked Childhood, Pialat worked on a series of short films, many of them financed by French television. TURKISH CHRONICLES is a compendium of four pieces shot in Turkey. Maitre Galip is another on Pialat's perceptive studies of children that includes a poem by Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet. (KG)
