6th Boston Turkish Film Festival - 6. Boston Turk Film Festivali

This year's festival invites you to enjoy a rich program of eleven films as it continues its tradition of highlighting contemporary Turkish cinema and Turkish filmmakers. We are proud to present you North America and U.S. premieres of many films in our program, three of which are currently in competition at the 26th Istanbul Film Festival - Climates, Destiny, The Magician. We are also delighted to present the Boston Turkish Film Festival's Excellence in Turkish Cinema Award to director Zeki Demirkubuz at the screening of his latest film, Destiny (Kader).

We have extended our festival program to include a series of lectures, exhibits and concerts under the theme "Mevlana and Sufism" as 2007 has been declared by UNESCO the year of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, celebrating the 800th anniversary of his birth.

This year's program also has some delightful surprises, such as a concert by internationally acclaimed Turkish musician Husnu Senlendirici with the New York Gypsy All-Stars Band, a master of clarinet and the Turkish gypsy music.
