Murat Toprak

This is a film made for a cause: To remind people of the many times that intellectuals in Turkey have been murdered since the foundation of the country and to pray that, never again, will there be murders like the slaughter of Sabahattin Ali and Hrant Dink. Moses Without Rod follows the turning points in the life of the Kurdish intellectual, Musa Anter, in a metaphorical light. Rather than by an actor, the character is symbolised with his felt hat, overcoat and wooden suitcase. (film.iksv.org)
