Statement Regisseur
The idea for SOUL KITCHEN has been there for a while now. I always had to think about my old friend Adam Bousdoukos and his Taverna in the Ottensen quarter of Hamburg. This was more than just a restaurant for us: it was a playground for adventure, a collecting tank, a place to celebrate, a home. I wanted to capture that feeling and way of life that I so deeply connect with the Taverna, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it had I been much older.I can’t party forever or go out on the town five nights a week anymore. At some point, you start to get headaches, you find the music too loud, you can’t handle all the smoke. We’re getting older, and that’s okay, because at some point this lifestyle simply disappears. Yet, making a film about it is still valuable because in the end it’s about an existential issue. It’s about drinking, eating, partying, dancing and about home. I wanted to make a film about home, not one that is defined by any nationality, not Germany or Turkey, home not as a location but as a state of being and an attitude.
