Hamlet adaptations at Ankara Film Festival

The 27th Ankara International Film Festival will bring film versions of William Shakespeare's classic tragedy "Hamlet" to the big screen.

In a section titled "There is Something Rotten in the World," Hamlet adaptations shot over the years in five different countries - Yugoslavia, Germany, Finland, France and Britain - will be screened at the festival. 

The first film in the selection will be Laurence Olivier's cult "Hamlet," made in 1948. It will be followed by Claude Chabrol's 1963 adaptation "Ophélia," Krsto Papi?'s 1973 film "Acting Hamlet in the Village of Mrdu?a Donja," Aki Kaurismäki's 1988 film "Hamlet Goes Business," and "Hamlet - This is Your Family" by Austrian director Peter Kern, who died last year. 

The festival will take place in the Turkish capital between April 28 and May 8.Photos show devastation after Turkey ends two-month anti-PKK operations in CizreIn Photos: Nature in Turkey's Artvin enchants against efforts to mine gold from its mountainsIn Photos: Turkish police intervene against locals protesting mining efforts in ArtvinIn photos: Turkey commemorates Rumi with 'Night of Union' ceremony in KonyaIn Photos: Ta?yaran Valley in Aegean region to become nature parkPictures released by the Armed Forces depict destruction in southeastern Sur amid clashes, curfewIn Photos: Marks of violence visible across Nusaybin after lifting of curfewIn Photos: Turkey celebrates Christmas Eve with services In Photos: Turkey provides assistance in rare UN-backed swap dealHürriyet's Sebati Karakurt photographs Diyarbak?r's Sur amid curfew and clashesIn Photos: Istanbul welcomes 2016 covered in snowIn Photos: Cities across the world celebrate New YearIn Photos: Snow produces picturesque scenes across Turkey after days of stormsIn Photos: At...
