Countdown starts for Istanbul’s Filmekimi

ISTANBUL

Our Little Sister

Organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV) for the 14th time, this year’s Filmekimi will once again bring cinephiles together at several cities across Turkey. 

This year’s 14th Filmekimi will feature films that have premiered at prestigious international film festivals, such as Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, and Toronto, and received numerous awards, as well as the latest works of master directors such as Woody Allen, Noah Baumbach, Stephen Frears, Michel Gondry, Todd Haynes, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Nanni Moretti, and Paolo Sorentino. 


The Turkish premieres of Can Evrenol’s “Baskın” (Raid) and Ben Hopkins’ “Yearning” will also be held at this year’s Filmekimi.

The festival will be in Istanbul for nine days between Oct. 3 and 11 before touring the cities of Ankara, Izmir, Trabzon, Bursa, and Edirne throughout October.


In Istanbul, the festival headed over to the Asian side district of Kadıköy for the first time last year, and this year Filmekimi will hold screenings at Beyoğlu and Atlas Cinemas in the Beyoğlu district, Rexx Cinema in Kadıköy, and Feriye Cinema in the Bosphorus neighborhood of Ortaköy. 

As in previous years, the screening times at these theaters will be 11.00, 13.30, 16.00, 19.00, and 21.30. 

In Ankara, Filmekim will be held at the Büyülü Fener Kızılay Theater between Oct. 2 and 4; in İzmir it will be at the Karaca Theater between Oct. 9 and 12; in Trabzon it will be at the Atapark Avşar Theater between Oct. 16 and 18; in Bursa it will be at the Cinetech Korupark Theater between Oct. 23 and 25; in Edirne it will be at the Cinemarine Theater between Oct. 23 and 25.
