Devin Özgür Çınar — Biography

Devin Özgür Çınar has been a recognized character actress of Turkish television and cinema since the 1990s, and is also a screenwriter. Her biggest film honor came for Geriye Kalan, which earned her the best actress prize at the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival. Today she plays Ezgi in GAİN's 10 Bin Adım and is credited with the screenplay of the same platform's series FER.

Çınar graduated in 1996 from the drama department of Hacettepe University's Ankara State Conservatory. Her first stage experience was with the Bakırköy Municipal Theatre in Can Yücel's play Bahar Noktası, and she later returned to the stage in Mikadonun Çöpleri and Yeni Kiracı. Her screen career began with Cennet in İkinci Bahar. She went on to play a variety of characters in series such as Dayı, Köpek, Hayat Türküsü (as Hayat), Parmaklıklar Ardında and Türk Malı. Her early films include Dar Alanda Kısa Paslaşmalar, Abuzer Kadayıf, Hiçbir Yerde and Gönül Yarası.

From the 2010s the line continued with Galip Derviş and Sevdaluk, and carried on with the role of Hülya Aksal in Kalbimdeki Deniz. In the same years she appeared in the films Robinson Crusoe & Cuma, Guruldayan Kalpler and Aile Arasında. Her main recent work is 10 Bin Adım, which began in 2020.

Their work through different eyes

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

The place to see Devin Özgür Çınar at her best is Geriye Kalan, where the film puts her performance forward as Zuhal. Hiçbir Yerde, Tayfun Pirselimoğlu's first film, offers a quiet, auteur-leaning setting; Gönül Yarası is Yavuz Turgul's drama aimed at a wide audience. Together they show an actress equally at home in auteur cinema and in mainstream drama.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

Aile Arasında is the one to watch together with Devin Özgür Çınar: a comedy that drew 5.3 million viewers and speaks to a wide audience. Dayı and Türk Malı are sitcoms, though Türk Malı, about a long marriage, suits adults better. Keep Çekmeceler for adults; it deals with a woman's childhood traumas and sexuality.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Devin Özgür Çınar's work shows two faces of the urban family: in Aile Arasında and Türk Malı marriage and family are treated as funny and sad at once, while Çekmeceler takes up society's expectations of sexuality and masculinity in a heavy register. In my view her value lies in carrying the same social reality in both comedy and drama.
