Prohibitions is theme of Second Youth Films Festival
The second Youth Films Festival starts in Ankara, Ýstanbul, Zonguldak, Bursa, Ýzmir and Kocaeli on 20 December. The festival’s this year theme is “prohibitions”.
Within the scope of the festival, films censored in different periods will be displayed under the title “Uncensored”.
Collective Cinema Team calls attention to the increasing pressure and control mechanisms in the recent period and says that; “prohibited works should be revealed, discovered, told, heard, displayed and even exposed at the festival and under the leadership of youths”.
To increase the visibility of the productions of youths...
Collective Cinema Team summarizes the festival’s goal as follows;
* To discuss the problems and demands of the youth and spread these discussions through the narrative forms of cinema,
* To enable the meeting of Turkey’s youth with youths of different cultures and to increase means of communications by displaying films from many countries,
* To increase the visibility of the films produced by the youth, using cinema also as a means of the youth’s expressing themselves,
* To prompt young people to produce and to share their productions,
* To contribute to youth films with the productions of film workshops to be formed under the festival,
* To enable the adoption of sense of real freedom and to generalize the conscious that cultural art is a right by creating a qualified socialization environment with presentations at universities and workshop practices to be performed against the sense of “free university student” imposed by the advertisements and university activities of neoliberalism,
* To bring cinema, its laborers and university students together,
* To prove that an alternative, qualified and unsponsored youth festival can be put into practice with a collective labor,
