“Kanal 82” tells the behind-the-scenes-story of a fictive local Turkish TV station, mainly dealing in light entertainment fare.  Being inexperienced in “serious journalism”, the channel‘s crew is one day caught unaware by a horrific event - too horrible to be mentioned here - which all the big media organs self-censor immediately. Only Kanal 82 sends live and uncut.
Following current events in Turkish society and politics, the project combines the production of a satirical web-series with an open research on the political role of local/private TV broadcasting in Turkey.

Filmmaker and philosopher Nino Klingler (*1984 studied film and philosophy in Berlin and Istanbul. He has (co-) directed some short films and writes film critiques.
