Didem Yilmaz
While pursuing her bachelor’s degree in cinema and television

documentary filmmaking. Her documentary film Tevellüt 1340 (Birthdate
1340) exploring the perceptions of “old age” at a retirement home,
was a great success. Her second documentary, Devrim-Eskisehir
(Revolution-Eskisehir), was a group project about the first Turkish-made
car and the engineers who built it. Both of these documentaries won numerous
awards. She received her master’s degree in media studies at New School
