An excellent festival. When I was in the military, I learned that I received the Sami Yılmaztürk Special Jury Award. Despite this, the communication and smooth progress they have established with my teammates is admirable. I hope we will meet again in a tomorrow away from the pandemic, at a festival where everyone is involved. See you again with my new project 🙂

Iara Lee - Dırector
This is a really great festival. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-situation, the festival took place online this year; however, the high quality of the festival, the films, the discussions and the work of the jury could clearly be sensed, and throughout the process, communications were swift and very friendly. I can really recommend the festival.
Hans Chrıstıan Post - Dırector
Being part of the XII edition of Istanbul International Architecture and Urban Films Festival with my documentary ``Walking on water`` has been such an honor and a pleasure! I'm looking forward to have my next film ready to apply again!
