Babli or Cynthia or Shy, since you are affiliated with a college or university I wonder if you can access the book in question in this book review, or the films they are analyzing:

Specifically I'm curious if any of you have access to these:

Ayse Polat's experimental short film "Countess Sophia Hatun" 1997

Fatih Akin's film "Edge of Heaven" 2007
I found the US trailer
