WASHINGTON - Anatolia News Agency
The 16th Boston Turkish Arts & Culture Festival Documentary and Short
Film Competition will take place between Oct. 29 and Dec. 15 this
year.
The deadline for applications to the competition is Wednesday. The
event has been organized since 2006 and is known as the first Turkish
documentary and short film competition ever held in North America.
The finalists of the competition, who will be chosen by a jury
including Harvard Film Archive Director Haden Guest, the Boston
Phoenix newspaper's film critic Peter Keough and Boston Fine Arts
Museum Film Curator Carter Long, will be screened at the Museum of
Fine Arts and at Boston University between Dec. 1 and 8.
The award-winning films will also be screened at the 11th Boston
Turkish Film Festival in 2012.
The Boston Turkish Festival Documentary and Short Film Competition
provides a rare opportunity for filmmakers to have a platform in the
United States for their films to reach an international audience, as
well as film critics, according to organizers.
The competition has already become a great tradition in which
Bostonians are able to explore works of emerging filmmakers first
hand. Each year, more than 100 films are submitted from numerous
countries, including Armenia, Canada, France, Germany, the
Netherlands, Iran, South Korea, Nepal, Norway, Turkey, Britain, the
U.S.
