Fresh Start: International Changing Perspectives Short Film Festival

The 6th International Changing Perspectives Short Film Festival will be held between April 10 and 15 in Istanbul -- Turkey’s hub for culture and art. The International Changing Perspectives Short Film Festival is an international take-away film festival dealing with the topic of cultural exchange. The festival is expected to continue its yearly tour across other cities around the world after its start in Istanbul. Yogyakarta, Berlin, New York and Vancouver are among the stops of the festival. As part of Katadrom Arts, Culture and Social Politics Association the ICPSFF also aims to stimulate artistic and cultural creativity. Its special aim is to provide a platform for young critical fimmakers who deal with the wide variation of cultural exchange. This year’s festival will be held under the theme “wild” and will screen more than 100 short narrative films, short documentaries and short animations. Aside from thematic programs, the festival is also ready to screen nearly 100 films from 50 countries under its traditional sections, namely, Exchange Experience, Cultural Insights, Ridicule, Umbrella and Purple Portrait.
