We are an IMDB qualifying Film Festival.
The best Istanbul Film and Art Festival takes place twice a year. Our "Judging Team" http://tiyatroartist.com/, consisting of Istanbul's most prestigious theater group, determines the winners for half a year. The venue and ceremony are announced on our official social media accounts and website.

Best Istanbul Film and Art Festival because; It is one of the five most populous cities in the world that embraces the art world and hosts unique works from past to present. However, this situation is not limited to the last century. Istanbul was among the most crowded and creative cities in the world in the 1500s.
