The 10 short films will meet with the audience on Saturday, November 25 at Pera Film. The directors of the jury award and people’s award travel to London to attend BFI Flare’s Film Festival in March 2018.

There will be a talk after the screening with the jury, director Umit Unal, producer Gavin Humphries and Pera Museum’s film and video programs curator Fatma Çolakoğlu.
