A TRIBUTE TO ISTANBUL

This year's thirteen-program festival continues its tradition of highlighting emerging Turkish filmmakers with a recurring theme that hits on diverse lifestyles in Istanbul, one of the most breathtaking cities in the world. It's a rare opportunity to glimpse the best contemporary work of Turkish cinema from the new generation of filmmakers such as Semih Kaplanoglu, Umit Unal, Kutlug Ataman, Ugur Yucel, Ahmet Ulucay and Cagan Irmak, as well as veterans like Yavuz Turgul. The festival also features three concerts by world-class musicians, the Fahir Atakoglu Trio, Omer Faruk Tekbilek Ensemble, and the Derya Turkan and Sokratis Sinopoulos Ensemble.
