The conceptual framework of Cinefication - Tarot and Chess is based on interpretations of classical tales told by tarot and the game of chess. The film portrays the dynamics, and the universal patterns of human behaviour and their relationship to past, present and future, looking through the prism of literary expressions.

Ergin Çavuşoğlu - Desire Lines / Tarot and Chess at “Artists’ Film International”
Istanbul Modern presents Artists’ Film International, a program featuring videos, animations, and short films by artists from around the world
Every language is more than an instrument of communication between members of the community to which it belongs, it also represents cultural accumulation. Language is a tool for individuals to convey their thoughts and an important determinant of how they perceive and express the world around them.
Language and various insights related to language are the theme of this year's Artists’ Film International program. On the invitation of Istanbul Modern, artist Ergin Çavuşoğlu is participating in the program with his video “Desire Lines / Tarot and Chess”. The video will be screened by Istanbul Modern and other international program partners throughout 2020.
