Turkish film fest

The 2013 Turkish Film Festival in China, kicks off on Aug 15 and will last six days. The festival will screen seven films, including Can, a World Cinema Special Jury Prize Dramatic winner at Sundance in 2012, and Night of Silence, which took the top prize for teen films at Berlin last year. Can takes a sharp glance at Turkish culture as it follows a couple who cannot have children naturally and try to find one by illegal means. Night of Silence is a family drama between a young wife and her older husband. The films will be released at Broadway Cinematheque MOMA in Beijing from Aug 15 to 21, and Aug 19 to 25 in Xi'an Zhuque Theater. Other titles include The Particle, The Girl with Red Scarf, My Father and My Son, A Handful of Sea and Let This Be the Last Time.
