Now in its 18th year, the Boston Turkish Film Festival continues its tradition of highlighting emerging and established Turkish filmmakers. This year’s program features several appearances by guest directors and a number of films making their US premiere. The festival opens with Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s The Wild Pear Tree, which had its world premiere at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and was Turkey’s official entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2019 Academy Awards. Rounding out the program is a Turkish cinema classic from the 1970s, The Bus, and Tolga Karaçelik’s Butterflies, winner of the Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize.
Join us for a special screening on March 24 of award-winning films from the Boston Turkish Festival’s Documentary and Short Film Competition, which celebrated its 13th year in 2018, followed by a panel discussion.
All films are in Turkish with English subtitles, unless otherwise noted. Organized by Erkut Gömülü, founder and director of the Boston Turkish Film Festival.
