F Type (F Tipi Film)

Developed by Grup Yorum, the 2012 Turkish anthology drama F Type (F Tipi Film) edits nine short films by ten directors into a single feature. Directors include Ezel Akay, Aydın Bulut, Barış Pirhasan, Hüseyin Karabey, Mehmet İlker Altınay, Reis Çelik, Sırrı Süreyya Önder and Vedat Özdemir. Its subject is life in the F-type prisons after the "Return to Life" operation, carried out in twenty prisons at once on December 19, 2000.

F-type prisons differed sharply in architecture from earlier ones: communal wards gave way to single and three-person cells, with no shared yard, each cell having its own yard and visiting area. They are therefore described as a regime confining all of life to the cell, in solitude and isolation. After that transition, the film dramatizes the prisoners' resistance to isolation through separately directed segments. The cast includes Fırat Tanış as Muharrem, Bülent Emrah Parlak, Civan Canova and Elif Pirhasan, while Ezel Akay appears as a journalist.

Serkan Deniz shares the script credit with the directors; Serkan Gülgüler was director of photography and Tiglon the distributor. It premiered on December 19, 2012, at the Atlas Cinema in Istanbul, opened on December 21 with 69 prints, stayed in cinemas for fourteen weeks and drew 75,643 viewers.
