18th NYTFF showcases the beautiful landscapes of Turkey, its rich culture, heritage, and history helps increase the appreciation of Turkey and its arts in the United States.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2021, The 18th NYTFF at which CHOBANI is platinum sponsor, will consist of socially-conscious films from diverse storytellers using art to inspire, illuminate and above all else, entertain.
“Stories unite. Storytellers broaden our minds and connect us. We are thrilled to curate original independent stories that touch our hearts and remind us of the values of our human understanding. We chose Bridges & Borders as this years’ theme to showcase films that bridge the gap between cultures, identities, and people. These films help us walk in the shoes of others and allow us to have a better understanding of our own kind,” said festival director, Mustafa Kaymak.
