An anonymous person writes:

A Video Installation artist uses the Smiths as a backdrop for the political plight for Turkish citizens. There will also be a screening of the film "Is it Really So Strange" with a QA session afterwards by filmmaker, William E. Jones. Check it out!!

"His video installation dünya dinlemiyor (Turkish for "the world won’t listen") features young people in Istanbul performing karaoke versions of songs by the 1980s band The Smiths. Within the politically fraught context of Istanbul, The Smiths' melancholic pop takes on new poignancy, asking us to listen to what the rest of the world won't. Collins is a nominee for the 2006 Turner Prize."

"Is It Really So Strange" (the film) is BOR-ING. (Score:1)

I couldn't even get all the way through it, but if the second half is anything like the first (Mexicans who really are not that into Moz), then it's not worth the time.
