I agree generally with Luko's points except to say that Akin's films are
always about the Turkish experience.

Fatih Akın was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, from parents who
had immigrated from Turkey.
Sure, "in Akin's cinema, the lives of German Turks are a recurring
theme, such as their struggles and their confusion about two different
cultures", as the en.Wikipedia article on Akın says. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatih_Akin
And he "has never denied his Turkish roots and even accepted the
Cannes award in the name of Turkish cinema", but has got all his
education including higher studies of cinema in Germany.
And, as far as I know, all his films were released first in Germany
(except at festivals) before being shown in other countries.
Selamlar,
