Muzaffer Hiçdurmaz, born in Eskişehir in 1944, is one of the vivid and<br />
wise personalities of Yeşilçam. With Çark, the only film he directed<br />
Hiçdurmaz depicted the working conditions of workers in an unindustrialized<br />
country in such a powerful way that the workers went on a<br />
strike after seeing the film. He is a set worker who had been to film sets<br />
of masters such as Pasolini and Kazan, a leader who assumed active<br />
roles in the Union of Cinema Workers (SINE-SEN) and an educator<br />
who teaches the technical details of cinema at Müjdat Gezen Art Center.<br />
He is a very disciplined, and at the same time, a very kind-hearted<br />
figure of cinema.<br />
Hiçdurmaz comes from Eskişehir to Istanbul at the age of 7 and becomes<br />
a part of Yeşilçam at 14. He does not continue his studies after<br />
secondary education. He works as a camera operator until 1962 and<br />
steps into film sets after this year. After being fired from the set when<br />
working for Üç Tekerlekli Bisiklet, he meets the director Ömer Lütfi<br />
Akad and continues his career with him. Keen on adventures, Hiçdurmaz<br />
works in all films of the series of Tarkan, excluding one film,<br />
Malkoçoğlu, Karaoğlan Geliyor and Battalgazi. He rides horses and<br />
directs fights. He has to cope with many difficulties when shooting the<br />
film Yol (The Road). Although he is tried with Şerif Gören in the court,<br />
he finds the soldiers required for the film by persuading the commanders<br />
in Urfa and Diyarbakır.<br />
Having read the books he borrowed from Ömer Lütfi Akad again and<br />
again, Hiçdurmaz today transfers his knowledge from these books and<br />
experience from film sets to students.
