A word from the Festival Director Vedide Kaymak.
‘Over the last decade, Turkish filmmakers, not only in Turkey, but also those living in the rest of the world, have found new creative directions, making critically acclaimed films, and winning awards all over the world.
The LTFF has always had an inclusive approach towards programming, and I am especially excited by our expanded programme this year.’
