Turkish Film Festival in Paris
The Turkish Film Festival, organized by the Assembly of Citizens of Turkish Origin (ACORT), will take place March 16-29 in Paris, according to the Doğan News Agency.
Films to be shown include "Against the Wall," "Where are You, Firuze?" "Construction," "A Season in Hakkari," "Piano Piano Rascal," "School," "Mud" and "Making Ships Out of Watermelon Skins." Guests scheduled to appear at the festival, where cinema shorts will also be featured, are directors Yeşim Ustaoğlu, Ezel Akay, Ömer Vargı and Durul Taylan.
The film festival will be held in the Parisian district known as "Little Istanbul," so called due to its large number of Turkish residents. During the festival, children will be invited to watch the film "Piano Piano Rascal" free of charge.
ACORT, formed by a group of Turkish immigrants in France, has been engaged in behind-the-scenes activities in France in support of Turkey's accession to the European Union.
