This was aided by, and in turn inspired, a surge in film festivals around the country. This growth in film festivals is not unique to Turkey however, and has been a global trend. Over the last few decades, film festivals have become a viable distribution channel in their own right, connecting films and audiences within a vast network. Concurrently, film festival research has become a rapidly growing field within film studies in the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/431857296920319\" target=\"_blank\">one-day symposium at Kadir Has University <\/a>aims to examine these phenomena from different angles. The symposium will start with a panel reviewing film culture in Turkey, concentrating on the role of festivals in it. This will be followed by a panel focusing on programming, and another on issues of gender and sexuality within this context. Panel participants will not only be academics studying festivals, but will also include programmers from a number of national and international festivals, filmmakers, as well as film critics, aiming to create a multidimensional conversation. The audience is invited to participate actively in this discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Attendance is free, the language of the symposium will be English.<\/p>\n<p>10:30-12:30 Panel 1: Film Festivals and Film Culture in Turkey<br \/>\n(Mod.: Melis Behlil, Kadir Has University)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dina Iordanova, University of St. Andrews<\/li>\n<li>Lalehan Ocal, Yeditepe University<\/li>\n<li>Azize Tan, Istanbul Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Ahmet Boyacioglu, Festival on Wheels<\/li>\n<li>Engin Ertan, Film Critic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lunch<\/p>\n<p>13:30-15:00 Panel 2: Programming Contexts and Concepts<br \/>\n(Mod.: Savas Arslan, Bahcesehir University)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emine Yildirim, Producer<\/li>\n<li>Serra Ciliv, !F Istanbul Independent Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Alisa Lebow, University of Sussex<\/li>\n<li>Emel Celebi, Documentarist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coffee Break<\/p>\n<p>15:30-17:00 Panel 3: Film Festivals and Matters of Gender and Sexuality<br \/>\n(Mod.: Defne Tuzun, Kadir Has University)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zeynep Dadak, Director<\/li>\n<li>Ozlem Kinal, Flying Broom Women\u2019s Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Skadi Loist, University of Hamburg \/ Hamburg International Queer Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Bilge Tas, Pembe Hayat KuirFest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Organization Committee:<br \/>\nMelis Behlil (Kadir Has University)<br \/>\nLalehan Ocal (Yeditepe University)<br \/>\nHalil Turkden (Kadir Has University)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, 27 December 2013, 10:30-17:00 Istanbul, Kadir Has University Filmmaking in Turkey has experienced a renaissance in the last decade.
