About
2018 ISTANBUL INTERNATIONAL EXPERIMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL is the first showcase of
avant-garde and experimental cinema in Turkey. It is led by a group of artists
who aim to change the landscape of cinema in Istanbul through filmmaking and
networking. We hope to create a platform that allows artists and filmmakers to
produce and showcase works for aesthetic and philosophical purposes rather than
for profit.
We support visionaries who seek to push the boundaries of traditional cinema by
giving new perspective on the contemporary genre. Our priority is to showcase
creative and interesting works from artists and filmmakers around the world,
thereby giving them the opportunity to share their visions and perspectives with
audiences.
As this is our first year, we are seeking emblematic and eye-opening pieces that
show the limitless possibilities of cinematic art. We are looking for works that
transcend borders through fiction, documentary, and visual genres of all levels
that highlight areas of immediate and cultural interest. We encourage filmmakers
to experiment with rhythm, structure, concept, and shot construction regardless
of genre.
Whether you are an emerging author, student, ametuer filmmaker, or established
professional, we encourage you to submit your films.
