01/09 – 21/09/2025

As part of the Spaces of Culture Co-Production Fund, the Ayvalık International Film Festival hosts the “Young Cinema Meetings” project in Ayvalık between 1–21 September. The program is developed in collaboration with Tobias Pausinger (Berlinale Talents), Marten Rabarts (Rotterdam Film Festival), and Hakan Erkılıç (Mersin Cinema Office).

Designed for young people in Türkiye between the ages of 18 and 30 who are studying or deeply interested in cinema, the project offers a series of workshops that cover creative areas such as screenwriting, editing, cinematography, and film music, along with industry-focused topics like co-productions, distribution, and marketing. The program fosters knowledge-sharing across national and international film industries and supports the development of new generations of filmmakers.
