Boston Turkish Film Festival - Boston Türk Film Festivali

This year's festival invites you to enjoy a rich program of fifteen 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. We are also delighted to present the Boston Turkish Film Festival's Excellence in Turkish Cinema Award to director Reha Erdem at the screening of his latest film, Times and Winds (Bes Vakit).

We have extended our festival program to include a series of concerts, as well as presenting unique events such as Sinan Unel's latest play "The Cry of the Reed", and a food tasting event organized for children on April 23rd, the Children's Day.
