Yeşim Ustaoğlu (born November 18, 1960 in Turkey) is a Turkish filmmaker and screenwriter.

Biography

Ustaoğlu est née dans la province turque orientale de Kars et a grandi à Trabzon, sur la Mer Noire. Après des études d'architecture à l'Université technique Yıldız à Istanbul, elle a travaillé comme architecte, puis comme journaliste et a dirigé plusieurs ateliers vidéo.

La Trace est son premier long-métrage en 1994. Dans En attendant les nuages, elle met en scène une vieille femme turque d'un village de la Mer Noire qui se révèle être une orpheline grecque pontique adoptée par une famille turque musulmane pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.

Son plus grand succès international est La Boîte de Pandore, en 2008, dans lequel Tsilla Chelton joue une vieille femme atteinte de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Ce film remporte la Coquille d'or du meilleur film et la Coquille d'argent de la meilleure actrice pour Tsilla Chelton au Festival de Saint-Sébastien 2008.
