Izmir art and culture lovers enjoy the last days of autumn with international short films from 2019, a workshop and talks on alternative topics. Assembled by Digital Film Workshop (DFA) in collaboration with the special guest of 2019, Balkan Can Kino from Greece, ‘2 Sides Short Film Festival’ presents a vibrant collection of independent short films which focus on diversity in cinema and audio-visual arts.
