Here is the final Kurdish cinema trailer, with almost the 90% of Kurdish cinema (and films about kurds) made in the world. The klip is dedicated to Halîl Uysal, film director who died on 1th April, 2008, and to all brave kurdish and non-kurdish directors who have been dealing with the Kurdish issue.
____________________________________________
Halîl Uysal Filmography was:
2007- Ein Lied für Zagros
2006- Beritan
2002- Tall Mirror (Eyna Bejnê)
2002- Tirej

Song: Mem û Zîn
Artist: Mazlum Çimen
Film Editing: Azad Kanjo

Note: I wanted to sum up the history of kurdish cinema. But there are also some non-kurdish movies dealing with the Kurdish problem (like "Journey to the Sun", "The Wind Will Carry us" or Handan Ipekçi films), which help to understand the Kurdish reality and also the kurdish cinema.
Note 2: I missed some Kurdish movies because I haven't them or because They haven't been released yet.
Note 3: Bahman Ghobadi once said: "Kurdish cinema is like a pregnant woman. One must help her to give birth". Answering that question, I think the baby is out, mr. Ghobadi. And now, We must help him to grow up.

@jojobizarder I just saw "Journey of Hope" and its a truly Masterpiece. I wasn't expecting it would be such great. The actor Necmetin Çobanoglu (seen in Yilmaz Guney's YOL) in one of his best performances ...

albiofof, I can't upload any kurdish film, because Their rights are reserved, like those of any other movie.
You can buy some of the best kurdish movies on the internet. Try at DVDPacific, in which I had a great experience:
Search for Fratricide and Kilometer Zero, for example...
