Count Us In! November 2–16, 2017

Istanbul Modern Cinema presents the sixth edition of its newly released films from Turkey program titled “Count Us In!” featuring fresh ideas and novel approaches in terms of content and form. The festival-like program this year features film directors and cast members attending the screenings of first feature films such as Ceylan Özgün Özçelik’s Inflame which premiered in the Berlinale Film Festival this year and The Gulf by Emre Yeksan who was nominated for the Luigi De Laurentiis Award at the Venice Film Festival, as well as welcoming masters such as Reha Erdem, one of the auteurs of Turkish cinema with his ninth film Big Big World. One of the innovative films featured in the program will be the first Kurdish superhero film Genco that won the Best Film Award at the Ankara Film Festival, directed by Ali Kemal Çınar with a very small budget in Diyarbakır.
