Çalı Village Film Festival 10th anniversary concludes

Overview

The 10th anniversary of the Çalı Village Film Festival (ÇKFF) in the Nilüfer district of Bursa, Turkey, concluded following a three-day program of screenings, discussions, concerts, workshops, and nature walks. Organized by Nilüfer Municipality and the Çalı Environment and Culture Association (ÇEKÜDER), the event integrated cinema with nature, offering attendees opportunities to camp in the area.

A central component was the 2nd National Interdisciplinary Cinema Symposium, held at Pancar Deposu under the theme ‘Film Studies from Local to Global’. The symposium brought together academics and local officials, including Nilüfer Deputy Mayors Okan Şahin and Emre Karagöz, and ÇEKÜDER President Sadık Emre Sakin. Şahin noted the festival’s evolution into a platform for generating new ideas and building cultural memory. The academic papers presented are intended to be compiled into a booklet.

The festival also featured a short film competition that received 128 applications, with 15 films reaching the final stage. Awards were presented for Best Documentary to Ozan Takış for ‘Salman Gitmek İstiyor’ and Best Fiction to Utku Ali Gül for ‘Feridun’. During the closing ceremony, Nilüfer Mayor Şadi Özdemir highlighted the village’s cinematic heritage, noting that the 1934 film ‘Aysel Bataklı Damın Kızı’ was filmed in Çalı, and emphasized the festival’s role in bridging this history with new generations.
