Sharing stories with the world is just as important as telling them. We take pride in our curated selection of films, ensuring each project finds its voice and its audience. From powerful documentaries to compelling narratives, here is a look at the titles we are currently bringing to screens globally.
This documentary tells the fairy-tale-like story of Adakale, a unique island on the Danube River inhabited solely by Turks, which was submerged in 1970 by the waters of a newly built dam. At its core, the film explores the profound ache of a lost homeland. It is a poetic elegy for a disappeared world, narrated through memories and the grief of those who had to leave. İsmet Arasan DirectorDuring the First World War, some of the Ottoman soldiers who fought on different fronts on 3 continents were able to return to their homeland in 1922. The letters these soldiers wrote to their families during their 7 years of captivity are the only means of communication with them. We are delivering the letters that have been waiting in the archives for a century, written to the families of 3 soldiers who were captured in Siberia and who set out to return to Istanbul with the Japanese ship Heimei-Maru, to their grandchildren. How will these 3 grandchildren, who only know their grandfather from the stories, feel when they receive their letters? What is described in these letters? These letters, which have been waiting to be read for a century, are the letters of captive soldiers whose stories have never been told. Hayriye Savascioglu Director

A poignant portrait of Tevfik Esenç, the last known speaker of the Ubykh language, living in the village of Hacıosman (Manyas, Balıkesir). The film documents the melancholic story of a man and his community, capturing the final breaths of the Ubykh people, their language, and their culture, which originated in the Caucasus. It is a profound elegy for a dying language and the world it carried. İsmet Arasan DirectorAfter enduring six grueling years in Russian prisoner-of-war camps during World War I, hundreds of Turkish soldiers finally begin their journey home on February 23, 1921. Boarding the Japanese ship Heimei-Maru, under the courageous command of Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Tsumura, they believe their ordeal is over. However, as the ship reaches the waters off Mytilene, it is intercepted by a Greek warship, sparking a diplomatic crisis and a prolonged wait at sea. It isn’t until June 25, 1922, that the weary soldiers finally touch the soil of Istanbul. Decades later, Mustafa Dokur, the son of one of those soldiers, embarks on a personal mission to piece together his father’s lost history. Armed with nothing but a faded photograph and a weathered notebook, Mustafa’s search for answers unearths a forgotten saga of resilience, international solidarity, and the unbreakable bond between a father and a son across time. Hayriye Savascioglu Director
A film about migration, otherness, and the fragile possibility of living together. In Istanbul’s Aksaray district, traces of distant geographies collide — Syria, Somalia, East Turkestan, Kazakhstan. At the heart of this convergence is Yeni Han, where translated documents mirror transformed lives. It’s a place of hope and confusion, of shifting identities and uncertain futures. Meanwhile, just outside, locals and newcomers share the same streets yet remain separated by invisible distances. This film listens to the silence between them — the hesitation, fear, and unspoken boundaries that shape coexistence in today’s Istanbul. Bingöl Elmas Director
