“Turkish Cinema” to be Promoted at the European Film Market
Within the scope of the European Film Market, the newly completed and in development projects of Turkish cinema in the genres of feature films, short films and documentaries will be introduced, while Turkish films will be showcased in the international arena.
Co-production and project opportunities, which have become very important in the cinema industry due to information and technology transmission, access to local funding sources, creation of potential markets and development of promotional activities, will also be discussed at the festival.
At the Berlin Film Festival, the “Foreign Film Production Support”, which came into force with the new cinema law, will be presented to international filmmakers. With the support, it is predicted that Turkey, which stands out as a natural plateau, will increase its competitive power in this field and become one of the important film shooting centers.
