Building on Krizalit’s success across festivals like Iris Prize, BFI Flare, Izmir Short Film Festival, and RiverRun, we’re expanding our spotlight to celebrate a wider community of filmmakers. We are proud to feature exceptional short films by Turkish and women directors at Cinema Village, bringing more vital, diverse perspectives to light.

Program
Meadow Mice - directed by Ilayda Iseri

She Has No Name - directed by Cagla Karslioglu
“In 1960s and ’70s Istanbul, bound by tradition yet brimming with mischief, a young girl carves her own path, transforming into a woman who dares to defy it all.”
Krizalit - directed by Arantxa Ibarra & Naz Tokgoz
“In a welcoming yet complex Turkey, Deniz confronts her romance with Melisa and her own nature.”
