Kemal İnci — Biography

Kemal İnci was a Yeşilçam filmmaker who left his mark first behind the camera and then in front of it. Against the usual career path he moved from directing to acting, and he worked as a screenwriter, producer, assistant director and actor over more than half a century. He was the elder brother of the actor Bilal İnci.

After finishing middle school he began working in tent and travelling theatres, and continued in cinema as a set worker. He was assistant director on Toros Canavarı in 1961 and Gurbet Kuşları in 1964, and between 1964 and 1967 he directed films including Günah Kızları, Güzeller Kumsalı, Başlık, Beleş Osman, Silaha Yeminliydim, Cesur Kardeşler and Ah Bu Kadınlar. He also wrote the scripts of Aman Dünya Ne Dar İmiş and Bitmeyen Kavga and produced Üsküdar İskelesi and Basık Ökçeciler.

In the following decades he appeared mainly as an actor. He took part in productions such as Züğürt Ağa (1985), starring Şener Şen, Eşkıya and İkinci Bahar, and was in the cast of Bizimkiler from its sixth to its fourteenth season. Kabadayı (2007), Kolpaçino (2009), Yahşi Cazibe and Düğün Dernek (2013) belong to his later work. He also wrote two books, Şarkımız Yalnızlar Rıhtımı (2012) and Yeşilçam Anıları (2016), and is described as a poet as well. He died in İzmir on 30 September 2018.
