Mr Gay Syria

Ayse Toprak Isztambulban élő filmrendező. A New York University Tisch School of the Arts-on és a New Schoolban tanult filmezést és televíziózást. New Yorkban a Channel Thirteen/PBS-nek dolgozott, valamint Londonban, Dohában és Isztambulban az Al Jazeerának. Toprak érdeklődése középpontjában áll, hogy a dokumentumfilmek, illetve azok alanyai és sokszínű karakterei hogyan gyakorolhatnak hosszútávon hatást a társadalomban. Olyan filmek érdeklik, melyek nemzeti szinten tudnak párbeszédet indítani mellőzött témákról, előítéleteket bontanak le, vagy tabutémákat feszegetnek. Lenyűgözik a társadalom perifériájára szorult emberek élénk és magukkal ragadó történetei. Filmrendezői hitvallása abból a vágyból fakad, hogy elmesélhesse ezeknek az embereknek a történetét, és megmutassa különleges, egyedi látásmódjukat.
