Climates control: photos by Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Hadn't visited Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's website for a while, so it was a swell surprise to happen upon an extended gallery of his work, especially the folio this image is drawn from, called "Turkish Cinemascope."

They'll debut at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Greece in November 2006, along with a retrospective of all of his films. Here's the trailer for his latest, opening this weekend at Film Forum in Manhattan:
