Amerta Festival (3)

映画祭の開始: 01 5月 2022      映画祭の終了: 31 5月 2022

The AMERTA ART International Film Festival , which takes place in Turkey, and is now in its first year, aims to encourage greater global attention on documentary film and social movie and to promote quality films focusing on diverse civilizations and cultures from across the world. The festival considers itself a valuable resource for distributing and developing world content.

AMERTA ART encourages the submission of films from all countries. We look for films with a focus on our changing world that express unique perspective, that highlight innovation or perhaps capture a dying tradition. Culture is a broad topic, replete with multiple interpretations and we promote the examination and expression of all. Our aim each year is to produce a program that provides our audiences with meaningful and thought-provoking questions about the world we live in.

The Organizing Committee also engages in the market, connecting filmmakers with opportunities for distribution as well as produces an annual industry forum where projects in development are linked with possible funding or co-production. Please see our website for more details on project submission and lab participation.
