About the Event

Join us at CineCycle for an afternoon dedicated to the art and grit of filmmaking. We begin with a dynamic panel featuring directors Emine Yıldırım and Seyfettin Tokmak, where they will discuss the landscape of independent Turkish cinema, international co-productions, and the evolution of storytelling.

Following the panel, Director Seyfettin Tokmak will lead an exclusive Filmmaking Masterclass. Drawing from his extensive experience (including his latest work Empire of the Rabbits), Tokmak will dive into directing techniques, visual language, and the journey from script to screen.
