Welcome to the 5th Annual New York Turkish Film Festival.

This year's program includes twelve feature films, three documentaries, and four Short Films. We urge you to see as many of these selections as possible as each one of them reflects a different facet of the rich talent Turkish cinema has had to offer in recent years.

Our goal each year is to produce a better festival than our last. This has been made possible in no small part by the undeterred belief of our staff and volunteers, but could not have been possible without the commitment of our sponsors, advertisers, and loyal audience.

We hope you will enjoy the festival and thank you once again for your continued support of Turkish cinema.
