Overview
With a slogan that promises cinematic delight, the latest edition of Australia's Turkish Film Festival is about to get under way. Hosted at the Dendy Newtown in Sydney and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne, the festival caps off a banner year for Turkish cinema, one that included wins at major international festivals including Cannes, Venice and even Sydney.
This year's program consists of the poignant opening night film Whisper if I Forget, Turkish-American co-production in Across the Sea and Palme d'Or winner Winter Sleep, as well as the film-centric comedy Coming Soon, about a desperate film extra attempting to make a movie of his own. Melbourne audiences will also get the chance to experience The Bride, one of the masterpieces of '70s Turkish cinema, as well as Sivas, which took out the Special Jury Prize in Venice.
