Zeki Demirkubuz, imprisoned at the age of 17 for three years, debuted with
C Blok/ Block C (1994), about an alienated woman whose marriage is falling apart,
and rose to prominence with Masumiyet/ Innocence (1997), about a man released from prison after serving a ten-year sentence,
and the surreal noir Ucuncu Sayfa/ The Third Page (1999).
The trilogy of the “Tales of Darkness” focused on desperate people: Yazgi/ Fate (2001), which transplants Albert Camus' 1942 novel "L'Etranger" to Istanbul, the Bergman-ian Itiraf/ Confession (2001), and Bekleme Odasi/ The Waiting Room (2003) in which Demirkubuz himself plays a depressed filmmaker who wants to make a film about Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment". Kader/ Destiny (2006) is a prequel to Innocence. Then came: Kiskanmak/ Envy (2009), set in a coal-mining town in the 1930s, Yeralti/ Inside (2012), inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Notes from the Underground", Bulanti/ Nausea (2015), Kor/ Ember (2016) and Hayat/ Life (2023).
