He started his master's in Film History at Sorbonne, but returned to Turkey before he received his degree. Kavur's The Motherland Hotel (Anayurt Oteli) is considered to be one of the best ten Turkish films of all times. Ömer Kavur received numerous awards throughout his career. Several retrospectives of his films have been held in Germany, Portugal, France, Morocco, Finland, India, Greece, Holland, and Canada. The Moon and Stars Project and Anthology Film Archives co-presented a retrospective of his films in New York in 2000. Ömer Kavur: Sculpture of Cinematic Time then toured various film centers in the United States. The same year, Robert Haller, the Director of Collections and Special Projects at Anthology Film Archives, wrote: 'Time and mystery are at the heart of all of his films. Kavur renders the world itself in precise and realistic terms, yet by the end of each feature, we are left with enigmas, secrets, unanswered questions about what is real, what is illusion, and why his characters make their choices: we are left in the presence of ultimate questions about the human condition.'
