As its celebrates its 14th anniversary in 2015, the festival invites you to enjoy a rich program of 23 films, continuing its tradition of highlighting contemporary Turkish cinema and Turkish filmmakers. We are proud to present you North America and U.S. premieres of many films in our program. Award winning films of the 19th Boston Turkish Festival Documentary & Short Film Competition will be rescreened and directors will be presented their awards in a ceremony, followed by a panel discussion moderated by film critic Peter Keough.
It is also our distinct honor to be announcing a special concert series in the music program of the festival in April. Before the concert program begins, we will have special presentation by Prof. Ufuk Kocabaş on “Constantinople’s Theodosian Harbor and 37 Byzantine Shipwrecks” on April 8th at the Goethe - Institute Boston. On April 11th, we proudly present first rendition of Hasan Ferid Alnar's Concerto for Kanun and Strings by Tahir Aydogdu, "From Prelude to Concerto". On April 18th, group Esthema will bring to the festival the "Mediterranean Soundscapes". Our festival will conclude on April 25th with a concert of favorite songs from all-time Turkish films, "A Celebration of Music in Turkish Cinema by NEOTOLIA". All concerts will take place at the Goethe-Institut Boston.
