Count Us In! October 3–13, 2013

Istanbul Modern Cinema presents a program of new Turkish cinema: Count Us In! The films in the program, released in the past two years, have made a mark, have aroused interest in Turkey or abroad, won awards at festivals, but did not enjoy a theatrical release or at least a wide one. Introducing new characters and new representations of identity, and adding new social approaches to Turkish cinema, which has developed considerably over the last 20 years, these films constitute a multivoiced selection by offering a place to the “other” in society. Consisting of a total of 16 films, the selection includes feature-length films as well as Köken Ergun’s short Aşura which competed for the Golden Bear at this year’s Berlin Film Festival and won the DAAD Short Film Prize. Directors and cast members will also be in attendance at the screenings.
