Yilmaz boasts over 20 years of international experience in creating stories, producing, writing and directing films, documentaries and campaigns. As an award winning filmmaker, his work covers a wide range of subjects, ranging from questioning whether AI can develop human traits in his most recent film, I Feel Human. Again (2023) to sustainable urban development in "the sea in me" (2010), social inclusion and justice in Borders (2011), social inequality, class struggle and family abuse in "Dr. Zack" (2010) and capturing the stories of adaptive heritage re-use in The Open Heritage documentary series (2020). He's currently in post-production on “Turtle Island”, a feature documentary telling the stories of communities transforming historical heritage buildings into socially inclusive projects. He's also researching coercive language techniques utilized by high-control and high-pressure groups for his master’s thesis and artistic project at the Academy of Fine Arts (Vienna) - which he hopes to use as a basis for a film one day. He's active in research and exchange in numerous EU funded projects.
