The heart of the festival will once again be the Beyoğlu district — a symbol of cultural diversity where history, urban life, and cinema merge into a single experience.
The festival will once again bring together directors, producers, platform representatives, distributors, critics, and film students, creating an environment for dialogue, collaboration, and the international promotion of Turkish cinema. The program will feature national and international screenings, professional meetings, pitching sessions, masterclasses, and a series of Bosphorus Talks discussions focused on co-production, distribution, and the international expansion of films.
One of the festival’s key events will be the panel “The Global Strategy of Turkish Cinema”, featuring participation from Kunay Film. The company’s founder and producer, Karina Mia Satlykova, will speak about the international promotion of Turkish films and share insights on entering markets such as Russia, the MENA region, and Latin America. The discussion will explore how local projects can gain international recognition, which regions are creating new opportunities for content producers, and how cinema serves as a tool of cultural diplomacy. Special emphasis will be placed on emerging markets and the growing potential of digital releases.

The Boğaziçi Film Festival continues to evolve as a platform not only for film screenings but also for the systematic international promotion of Turkish filmmakers. It serves as a gateway for future co-productions, strategic partnerships, and the exchange of creative experience between East and West.
