PROJECT DETAILS

Inside the work.

CONTEXT

Türkiye’s first international festival devoted exclusively to experimental cinema, IIEFF held its inaugural edition in 2018. Its remit extends beyond conventional screenings to artist talks, workshops, performance, and interdisciplinary moving-image work. The festival is organised by the non-profit Medart Association.

01

An entire programme on the timeline.

The 2019 programme included 128 short and feature-length films from 30 countries across 18 headings. Promotional editing had to connect many visual languages rather than rely on one film.

02

A festival for other ways of seeing.

IIEFF embraces new forms of cinematic expression and exhibition. These edits introduce a range of artistic approaches rather than sell a conventional narrative release.

03

2019: an international conversation.

More than 40 visiting directors, artists, curators, and academics joined the 2019 festival. The information film reflects that wider programme of screenings, talks, and performances.

04

Five films. Distinct programme identities.

Five promotional pieces are presented separately so each keeps its own rhythm and purpose. My contribution is editing; the participating filmmakers retain authorship of the featured work.
