Turkey’s cinema is as rich and complex as is its society, history, and culture, and film opens a unique door to understanding this inspiring country. This year’s festival will screen a selection of nine remarkable feature films, including two inspiring documentaries, and two collections of short films. The selected films address diverse themes such as poverty in the neighborhoods of Istanbul that have been subjected to gentrification, romance and human connection that transcend national borders, family connections and identity issues.
